Abstract:
Bridging between silver clusters and polyoxoanion clusters, the first 1D assembly, [Ag(34)(S(t)Bu)(26)(W(6)O(21))(CF(3)COO)](CF(3)COO)·Et(3)N·20CH(3)OH (1), based on POM-templated silver-thiolate nanoclusters featuring a [Ag(34)(S(t)Bu)(26)(CF(3)COO)](7+) shell and a [W(6)O(21)](6-) core is reported. This novel core-shell nanocluster possesses nanoscopic morphology, displays intense deep-blue emission in solution under ambient conditions and also shows special electrochemical properties.
