Ag(i)-mediated formation of a 2D cyano-bridged multinuclear silver(i) alkynyl network coupled with the C–C bond cleavage of acetonitrile†
Abstract
An intriguing 2D cyano-bridged multinuclear silver(I) alkynyl network [Ag15(CCtBu)10(CF3COO)2(CN)3]n (1) is obtained by self-assembly. The existence of CN− in 1 is assumed to have originated from the Ag(I)-mediated C–C cleavage reaction of acetonitrile under mild solvothermal conditions. Furthermore, the photoluminescence property of 1 is investigated.
