Abstract

Two superatomic solids, a bi-cluster compound, [Ag₆(3S)₄(OTf)₄][Ag₆(3S)₄(C [triple bond, length as m-dash] C^tBu)₄](OTf)₂ [Ag₆(0)·Ag₆(I)], and a homologous nanocluster, [Ag₆(3S)₄(tfa)₄] (Ag₆), have been described here, which are both close-packed in the crystal lattice with the ligation of trithiane. Their aggregation-state-dependent absorption and fluorescence properties could be ascribed to the enhanced intercluster charge-transfer in the crystalline state.
