Tetrahedral-shaped anions as a template in the synthesis of high-nuclearity silver(I) dithiophosphate clusters.
Novel Ag(32) clusters, [Ag(16)(EO(4)){S(2)P(OEt)(2)}(12)](2) (PF(6))(4) (E = S, 1; Se, 2) and [Ag(16)(MO(4)){S(2)P(OEt)(2)}(12)](2)(PF(6))(4) (M = Cr, 3; Mo, 4), were prepared in situ from the addition of a tetrahedral-shaped anion as a template to the pentanuclear extended chain [Ag(5){S(2)P(OEt)(2)}(4)](n)(PF(6))(n).
