Unprecedented cubane-type silver cluster with a novel phosphinite functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligand

Dalton Trans. 2009 Sep 21:(35):7288-93. doi: 10.1039/b911439d. Epub 2009 Aug 4.

Abstract

A novel heterodifunctional phosphinite imidazolium salt was synthesized and reacted with Ag(I) to afford an unusual tetrasilver cubane-type cluster with two P-NHC ligands bridging between the Ag(I) centres of opposite Ag(2)I(2) faces.
