The synthesis of high‐purity and high‐yield Au25 clusters protected by the basic pyridyl ethanethiol (HSCH2CH2Py, 4‐PyET and 2‐PyET) is presented. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction of the [Au25(4‐PyET)18]−⋅Na+ clusters has revealed a structure similar to that known for the phenyl ethanethiolate analogue, but with pyridyl‐N coordination to Na+, a more relaxed ligand shell, and a profoundly layered arrangement in the solid state. Because of the pendant Py moiety, the [Au25(PyET)18]− clusters are endowed with unique (de)protonation equilibria, which has been characterized in detail by UV/Vis absorption and 1H NMR spectroscopy. [Au25(PyET)18]− clusters showed an unexpectedly H+‐dependent solubility that is tunable in aqueous and organic solvents. The successful synthesis of the basic Py‐terminated thiolate‐protected Au25 clusters paves the way to realize a new family of metalloid clusters possessing basic properties.
