Monodisperse　gold　nanoclusters　constitute　a　new　branch　of　nanomaterials　with　atomically　precise　molecular　structures.　Recently,　we　developed　a　＂cluster-from-cluster＂　approach　to　assemble　gold　nanoclusters　[Au25(SR)18]-　(Au25)　via　atomically　precise　Au13　precursors.　Herein　we　demonstrated　that　efficient　synthesis　of　Au36(SR)24　(Au36)　nanoclusters　can　be　realized　via　this　facile　approach.　Ten　examples　of　Au36　with　different　thiolate　ligands　were　prepared　in　high　yields　(up　to　64%).　Steric　and　electronic　factors　of　the　aromatic　thiolate　ligands　were　found　to　determine　whether　the　final　products　would　be　Au25　or　Au36.　This　work　has　not　only　presented　a　series　of　atomically　precise　Au36　nanoclusters　but　also　indicates　that　the　＂cluster-from-cluster＂　approach　is　a　practical　approach　for　preparing　metal　nanoclusters　in　high　yields.
