[Ag(70)(PW(9)O(34))(2)((t)BuC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)(44)(H(2)O)(2)](8+): ionothermal synthesis of a silver cluster encapsulating lacunary polyoxometalate ions

Abstract

A silver alkynyl cluster containing a Ag70 shell and two lacunary [PW9O34](9-) templating ions was synthesized by an ionothermal approach. Fast core-shell electronic communication between silver(i) centers and polyoxometalates was verified via cyclic voltammetry studies in [BMIm]BF4.
