Metal–metal bond formation of triplatinum cores with a silver(i) ion affording a heptanuclear cluster bearing four Pt–Ag bonds†
Abstract
An N-heterocyclic carbene triplatinum complex with two triply bridging sulfide ligands reacts with a silver(I) salt and affords a heptanuclear complex. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that a silver(I) ion connects two triplatinum complexes with one of the three Pt–Pt bonds of each triplatinum unit.
