Summary
An unusual single crystal structure of a 25-gold-atom cluster protected by eighteen phenylethanethiol ligands is reported, which violates the empirical golden rule "cluster of clusters", and is in good correspondence with time-dependent density functional theory calculations for the observed structure.
