Snowman-like silver alkynyl cluster consolidated by templating chloride and peripheral trifluoroacetates†
Abstract
A novel nonadecanuclear silver double cage was isolated, in which a square antiprism and a pentacapped pentagonal prism templated by a chloride ion share a tetragonal face to form a snowman-like cluster that is held together by bridging alkynyl groups and trifluoroacetates.
