Abstract:Metal clusters have become increasingly important in various applications, with ligands playing a crucial role in their construction. In this study, we synthesized a bimetallic cluster, Ag6Cu8(C≡CAr)14(DPPB)2 (Ag6Cu8), using a rigid acetylene ligand, 3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetylide. Through single‐crystal structure characterization, we discovered that the butterfly‐shaped Ag2Cu2 motifs were subject to distortion due to steric hindrance imposed by the rigid ligand. These motifs assembled together throug… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
