Synthesis and structural characterization of [Au9Ag4Cl4(PMePh2)8][C2B9H12]·H2O·0.5CH2Cl2: the first example of an icosahedral silver–gold cluster
Abstract
The compound [Au9Ag4Cl4(PMePh2)8][C2B9H12]·H2O·0.5CH2Cl2 has been synthesised in high yield from [Au11(PMePh2)10]3+ and [Ag(PMePh2)Cl] in CH2Cl2 and its centred icosahedral geometry has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements.
