Abstract

A polyoxometalate-templated thiolate-protected silver nanocluster, [Cu₃(Mo₄O₁₆)₂@Ag₅₅(CyhS)₄₃(CH₃O)(COOCF₃)]·3H₂O, has been isolated under solvothermal conditions. In situ insertion of three Cu²⁺ ions into two polymolybdate anions generated a new, sandwich-type D_3h-symmetric [Cu₃(Mo₄O₁₆)₂]¹⁰⁻ polyoxoanion template encapsulated into an Ag₅₅(CyhS)₄₃ shell. The structure and composition of this Ag nanocluster have been fully characterized. This work has provided a new way to develop high-nuclearity metal nanoclusters with various structures.
