title: Stepwise construction of a Ag(I)9-Cu(II)4 heterometallic cluster incorporating two unusual vertex-shared trigonal-bipyramidal silver polyhedra.
abstract: One step at a time: A novel tridecanuclear Ag(I)(9)-Cu(II)(4) heterometallic cluster comprising four [Cu(phen)(2)](2+) units on the periphery and one interior [Ag(9)(mna)(8)](7-) cluster was synthesized in a stepwise manner and characterized. The interior [Ag(9)(mna)(8)](7-) cluster contains two unusual vertex-shared trigonal-bipyramidal silver polyhedra.
