“…A large number of iodoargentate hybrids have been prepared using organic cations, and transition metal (TM) and lanthanide (Ln) metal complex cations as counter cations or structural directing agents. Various iodoargentate aggregates with different compositions and structures were obtained in these iodoargentate hybrids, including 0D clusters [Ag 2 I 4 ] 2− , 11,12 [Ag 2 I 6 ] 4− , 13 [Ag 4 I 8 ] 4− , 14 and [Ag 4 I 12 ] 8− , 15 1D chains [Ag 2 I 4 ] 2− , 16–19 [Ag 3 I 5 ] 2− , 20–22 [Ag 4 I 6 ] 2− , 23 [Ag 5 I 7 ] 2− , 24,25 [Ag 6 I 9 ] 3− , 26,27 [Ag 9 I 12 ] 3− , 28 [Ag 10 I 12 ] 2− , 25,29 and [Ag 12 I 18 ] 6− , 30 and 2D layers [Ag 2 I 3 ] − , [Ag 6 I 8 ] 2− , 21 [Ag 5 I 8 ] 3− , [Ag 6 I 9 ] 3− , [Ag 7 I 10 ] 3− , 31,32 [Ag 3 I 6 ] 3− , [Ag 6 I 11 ] 5− , 33 and [Ag 11 I 15 ] 4− . 20 Comparatively, the 3D frameworks of iodoargentates were seldom reported, giving fewer examples: [Ag 2 I 4 ] 2− , 34,35 [Ag 5 I 7 ] 2− , 36 [Ag 9 I 13 ] 4− , 37 [Ag 13 I 17 ] 4− , 20 and [Ag 14 I 16 ] 2− .…”
