Unexpected 1D self-assembly of carbonate-templated sandwich-like macrocycle-based Ag20S10 luminescent nanoclusters

Abstract

The first example of 1D self-assembly of carbonate-templated sandwich-like macrocycle-based Ag20S10 nanoclusters, {[(CO32−)@Ag20(StBu)10(CH3COO)8(DMF)2]·2H2O}n (1), is reported. Compound 1 is stable both in the solid state and in solution. It exhibits potential wide gap semiconductor properties, reversible thermochromic luminescence behaviour and excellent electrochemical properties.
