title: A luminescent gold(I)-copper(I) cluster with unprecedented carbon-centered trigonal prismatic hexagold.
abstract: An unprecedented trigonal prismatic (μ(6)-C)Au(6) structure has been found in a novel gold(I)-copper(I) cluster with a hypercoordinated carbon, [CAu(6)Cu(2)(dppy)(6)](BF(4))(4); the incorporation of copper ions enhances the rigidity and integrity of the cluster and turns on the bright red solution luminescence.
