title: A precise hexagonal octadecanuclear Ag macrocycle with significant luminescent properties.
abstract: The first hexagonal octadecanuclear Ag macrocycle [Ag(18)(TTTMB)(12)](NO(3))(18)·30H(2)O has been hydrothermally synthesized. The outside and inner diameters of the unprecedented architecture are about 27.72(13) Å and 15.37(7) Å, respectively. This complex displays a huge increase in the intensity and lifetime of phosphorescence with decreasing temperature.
