Serendipitous anion-templated self-assembly of a sandwich-like Ag20S10macrocycle-based high-nuclearity luminescent nanocluster

Abstract

The first macrocycle-based high-nuclearity nanocluster [Ag20(StBu)10(CF3COO)2]8+ in complex 1, with a sandwich-like structure constructed by bilevel inversion Ag5S5 pentagrams and an interlayer Ag10 ring, has been obtained. Structure analysis indicates that Cl acts as an anion template to direct the formation of 1. In addition, the photoluminescent property of complex 1 is also investigated.
