title: Unprecedented cubane-type silver cluster with a novel phosphinite functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligand.
abstract: A novel heterodifunctional phosphinite imidazolium salt was synthesized and reacted with Ag(I) to afford an unusual tetrasilver cubane-type cluster with two P-NHC ligands bridging between the Ag(I) centres of opposite Ag(2)I(2) faces.
