Abstract
The synthesis and structural characterisation of an icosanuclear silver(I) cluster complex is reported here. The complex includes twenty silver(I) ions supported by eighteen bis(thiosemicarbazonato) ligands. The cluster of silver(I) ions involves several close Ag⋯Ag contacts suggesting some degree of argentophilic interactions and the bis(thiosemicarbazonato) ligands are present in three different conformations highlighting the ability of thiosemicarbazone ligands to coordinate to metal ions in different modes.
Keywords: argentophillic interactions, cluster of 20 silver ions, cluster, silver, sulfur ligands, thiosemicarbazone.
