A one-dimensional infinite silver alkynyl assembly [Ag8(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C t Bu)5(CF3COO)3(CH3CN)] n : synthesis, crystal structure and properties.

A high-yield silver alkynyl assembly [Ag8(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C t Bu)5(CF3COO)3(CH3CN)] n (1) constructed from [AgC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C t Bu] n ligand, CF3COOAg and CH3CN auxiliary ligands with a one-dimensional infinite chain structure has been obtained in one pot. Compound 1 has been well-defined and characterized. The photocurrent properties and the temperature-sensitive luminescent properties of 1 have been investigated.

A Temperature-Sensitive Luminescent Ag42 Nanocluster Supported by TertButyl Thiol Ligands.

Compound [Ag42 S5 (StBu)25 (CF3 COO)4 (CO3 )](CO3 )0.5 ⋅CH2 Cl2 ⋅4CH3 OH⋅9DMF (1) has been obtained and well defined. It consists of a multi-shell structure involving two Ag centres, one Ag5 S5 pentagram, two Ag5 S5 pentagons and one Ag25 S15 shell. Compound 1 has been characterized by XPS, FT-IR, PXRD, TGA, NMR, MS, UV/Vis spectrum, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. Temperature-sensitive luminescent property of 1 has also been investigated.
