The reactions of the ΛD or ΔD isomer of [Co(d-Hpen-N,S)(en)2](ClO4)2 (1; d-H2pen = d-penicillamine) with AgNO3 in water, followed by the addition of NaCl and HCl, led to the formation of discrete CoIIIAgI dinuclear complexes, ΛD- or ΔD-[AgCl3{Co(d-Hpen-N,S)(en)2}]. A similar reaction using a 1:1 mixture of the ΛD and ΔD isomers of 1, followed by the addition of NaCl, afforded a CoIII2AgI2 tetranuclear complex, ΛDΔD-[Ag2Cl4{Co(d-Hpen-N,S)(en)2}2]2+.
