title: Intensely luminescent gold(I)-silver(I) cluster with hypercoordinated carbon.
abstract: Intense solution and solid state phosphorescence was observed on a novel photostable gold(I)-silver(I) cluster with hypercoordinated carbon, [Au(6)Ag(2)(C)(dppy)(6)](BF(4))(4), which has a core structure of a hexagold(I) octahedron with two silver(I) atoms capping on a pair of its faces; the incorporation of silver atoms enhances the rigidity and integrity of the cluster.
