Abstract
A water-soluble gold cluster with a core of 32 to 36 gold atoms was prepare d by NaBH4 reduction of the AuCN complex of n-butyl-bis (5-morpholinocarbon yl-2-furyl)-phosphine and characterized by its mass spectrum. The chromatog raphic behavior, ligand exchange and binding to actin were studied.
