[Au7Ag9(dppf)3(CF3CO2)7BF4]n: a linear nanocluster polymer from molecular Au7Ag8 clusters covalently linked by silver atoms†
Abstract
We report the total structure determination of a covalently bonded nanocluster polymer [Au7Ag9(dppf)3(CF3CO2)7BF4]n (1). This features a one-dimensional linear chain, consisting of unique molecular building blocks, Au7Ag8(dppf)3(CF3CO2)7 clusters, which are linked together by Ag–O bonds rather than Au–Au interactions or bidentate organic bridges as previously reported.
