Apparently in theory there's

  • Au11 (0.8mn diameter) a.k.a. undecagold
  • Au25 (0.9mn)
  • Au38 (1.1nm)
  • Au68 (1.3nm)
  • 1.4nm, often referred to as nanogold(verify)
  • Au102 (1.5nm)
  • 1.8nm (a.k.a. Ni-NTA–Nanogold(verify))
  • Au114 (2.0nm)
  • Much larger is colloidal gold. These are larger clumps and (not being ordered crystals as the above are(verify)) the sizes are a little more approximate, but they often aim for one
    • 5nm
    • 10nm
    • 15nm
    • 20nm
    • 25nm


Apparently most commonly it's 5nm or 10nm, sometimes nanogold(verify).
