High-nuclearity silver clusters templated by carbonates generated from atmospheric carbon dioxide fixation.
Two high-nuclearity silver clusters have been prepared by reacting AgC(2)Bu(t) with AgBF(4) (or AgOTf) in the presence of TMEDA in air. The reaction takes up atmospheric CO(2) to give CO(3)(2-), which functions as a template for the formation of the cage compounds, whose nuclearities depend on the particular counteranions employed.
