A Functionalized Ag₂S Molecular Architecture: Facile Assembly of the Atomically Precise Ferrocene‐Decorated Nanocluster [Ag₇₄S₁₉(dppp)₆(fc(C{O}OCH₂CH₂S)₂)₁₈]

Abstract

Abstract A ferrocene‐based dithiol 1,1′‐[fc(C{O}OCH 2 CH 2 SH) 2 ] has been prepared and treated with a Ag I salt to form the stable dithiolate compound [fc(C{O}OCH 2 CH 2 SAg) 2 ] n (fc=[Fe(η 5 ‐C 5 H 4 ) 2 ]). This is used as a reagent for the preparation of the nanocluster [Ag 74 S 19 (dppp) 6 (fc(C{O}OCH 2 CH 2 S) 2 ) 18 ] which was obtained in good yield (dppp=1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane).
