Compact accumulation of superatomic silver nanoclusters with an octahedral Ag6 core ligated by trithiane

Two superatomic solids, a bi-cluster compound, [Ag6(3S)4(OTf)4][Ag6(3S)4(C≡CtBu)4](OTf)2 [Ag6(0)·Ag6(i)], and a homologous nanocluster, [Ag6(3S)4(tfa)4] (Ag6), have been described here, which are both close-packed in the crystal lattice with the ligation of trithiane. Their aggregation-state-depende...

Description
Summary:Two superatomic solids, a bi-cluster compound, [Ag6(3S)4(OTf)4][Ag6(3S)4(C≡CtBu)4](OTf)2 [Ag6(0)·Ag6(i)], and a homologous nanocluster, [Ag6(3S)4(tfa)4] (Ag6), have been described here, which are both close-packed in the crystal lattice with the ligation of trithiane. Their aggregation-state-dependent absorption and fluorescence properties could be ascribed to the enhanced intercluster charge-transfer in the crystalline state.
