[Ag₁₁₅S₃₄(SCH₂C₆H₄^t Bu)₄₇(dpph)₆]: synthesis, crystal structure and NMR investigations of a soluble silver chalcogenide nanocluster.

ABSTRACT: With the aim to synthesize soluble cluster molecules, the silver salt of (4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)methanethiol [AgSCH₂C₆H₄^t Bu] was applied as a suitable precursor for the formation of a nanoscale silver sulfide cluster. In the presence of 1,6-(diphenylphosphino)hexane (dpph), the 115 nuclear silver cluster [Ag₁₁₅S₃₄(SCH₂C₆H₄^t Bu)₄₇(dpph)₆] was obtained. The molecular structure of this compound was elucidated by single crystal X-ray analysis and fully characterized by spectroscopic techniques. In contrast to most of the previously published cluster compounds with more than a hundred heavy atoms, this nanoscale inorganic molecule is soluble in
