A novel octanuclear AgI6–ZnII2 heterometallic aggregate, (NH4)2{[Zn2(phen)2(H2O)4][Ag6(mna)6]}·2H2O·2CH3CH2OH (1, H2mna = 2-mercaptonicotinic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), was stepwisely obtained based on a hexanuclear silver(I) metalloligand using a liquid–liquid diffusion method. It is an exceedingly rare example that exhibits interesting temperature dependent photoluminescence behaviors, including gradual changes in energy and intensity upon cooling.
