A Silver Nanocluster Assembled by a Superatomic Building Unit.

ABSTRACT: A unique assembly of a two-electron superatom, [Ag₁₀{S₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₈], as a primary building unit in the construction of a supramolecule [Ag₁₀{S₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₈]₂(μ-4,4'-bpy) through a 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) linker is reported. This approach is facilitated by an open site in the structure that allows for effective pairing. The assembled structure demonstrates a minimal solvatochromic shift across organic solvents with variable polarities, highlighting the influence of self-assembly on the photophysical properties of silver nanoclusters.
