| Abstract: | The n‐butylphosphonate ligand has been employed to construct three new silver(I) thiolate compounds. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis revealed that complexes 1 and 2 are Ag48 and Ag51 coordination chain polymers, while 3 contains a discrete Ag48 cluster, in which three different kinds of silver(I) thiolate cluster shells enclose three different phosphonate‐functionalized silver(I) cluster cores, respectively. The structures of clusters in 1 – 3 feature three three‐shell arrangements, S@Ag12@(nBuPO3)9@Ag36S23, S@Ag11@(nBuPO3)7(MoO4)2 @Ag40S27 and MoO4@Ag12@(nBuPO3)8S6 @Ag36S24, respectively. |
