We substituted gold atoms in fcc structured Au 28 and Au 36 nanoclusters with a Ag(i)SR complex and obtained Ag x Au 28- x and Ag x Au 36- x nanoclusters, respectively. The positive electrostatic potential (ESP) and dual descriptor (Δ f ) values were calculated for the metal cores of both nanoclusters, which indicated that the metal exchange is an electrophilic reaction.
