• membrane, using a scanning transmission electron microscope and W(CO)6 as precursor. The pattern consists of tungsten-containing dots of about 3 nm in size. The Au(I) precursors that were studied (a) experimentally and (b) using density functional theory calculations. Synergistic backbonding model [53] for
