title: A cyclic tetramer of [Ag(1,4,7-trithiacyclononane)]+, cyclo-tetrakis(mu-1,4,7-trithiacyclononane-kappa3S1,S4,S7:kappaS1)tetrasilver(I) tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonate) nitromethane disolvate.
abstract: (1,4,7-Trithiacyclononane)silver trifluoromethanesulfonate crystallizes in a tetrameric form from nitromethane, to give the title compound, [Ag(4)(C(6)H(12)S(3))(4)](CF(3)SO(3))(4) x 2CH(3)NO(2). The complex cation consists of four [AgL]+ units (L is 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane), with four Ag-S-Ag bridges forming a cyclic tetramer. The almost planar Ag(4)S(4) ring takes an octagonal form.
