A 32 vertex polyhedron via supramolecular assembly of silanedithiolate silanolate units.
A high yield synthesis of the first silanedithiolate silanolate is reported which spontaneously assembles forming an inorganic rugby ball shaped 32 vertex polyhedral cluster stabilized by sterically demanding 2,6-dimesitylphenyl substituents and two LiCl units.
