On the selectivity of silver mediated thiolate transfer and the crystal structure of an unprecedented thiolate chloride Argentate(I) anion

Tuning the 1D–2D dimensionality upon ligand exchange in silver thiolate coordination polymers with photoemission switching

“…This absorption can be assigned to π–π* transitions of the phenyl groups, 13 or to the metal-perturbed intra-ligand or ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transitions. 14 The estimated optical band gaps from these data are around 2.9 eV for 1 and 2 . These values are in the range of the calculated ones: 3.1 eV for 1 and 3.9 eV for 2 .…”

“…13 In addition, some insoluble fluorinated silver-thiolate derivatives were able to react with bis(diphenylphosphane)methane and dichloromethane, pointing out the capability of silver thiolate to cleave C–Cl bonds. 14 Some insoluble silver thiolate CPs were also used as precursors for the synthesis of silver thiolate clusters, pointing out the reactivity of these CPs. 15…”
