In‐Between Complex and Cluster: A 14‐Vertex Cage in [Ag2Se12]2+

Abstract: Foreshadowing a new selenium modification …︁? Upon treatment of red, amorphous selenium with the silver salts of two large weakly coordinating anions (WCA), the thermodynamically driven formation of [Ag2Se12]2+ occurred. The structure of the dication is an unprecedented D3d‐symmetric 14‐vertex cage built from six six‐membered rings in a boat conformation that includes a weak argentophilic Ag–Ag bond.

“…For 4 a and 4 c , including the WCA [TEF], there are severe problems concerning the single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis . However, the molecular structures of the respective cations [ 2 a ] + and [ 2 b ] + could unambiguously be determined with the help of the WCA [FAl] in 4 b and 4 d . Single‐crystal X‐ray structure determination reveals that the cyclo ‐E 6 complexes 2 a – 3 retain the triple‐decker geometry upon one‐electron oxidation .…”

“…Decomposition via abstraction of an –OR F ligand [pathway (i)] can be reduced by either increasing the steric shielding of the oxygen atoms ( kinetic stability) or by increasing the Lewis acidity of the parent Lewis acid of the WCA [in this case Al(OR F ) 3 ] increasing its thermodynamic stability. The incorporation of four –OR F ligands to form [Al(OR F ) 4 ] – is already approaching the upper limit of steric bulk for the formation of an homoleptic aluminate WCA . Therefore, we turned our attention to the question of increasing thermodynamic stability and the formation of a novel WCA based on a stronger parent Lewis acid than Al(OR F ) 3 .…”

“…The dark teal crystals of 3 a were not suitable for an X-ray structure analysis. [24] By exchanging the anion [TEF] for another WCA [FAl{OC 6 F 10 (C 6 F 5 )} 3 ] − ([FAl]),[25] we were able to determine the crystal structure of the oxidized P 6 complex 3 b (Figure 2). …”
