Tetrahedral () Closed-Shell Cluster of 29 Silver Atoms & 12 Lipoate Ligands, [Ag(R-α-LA)]: Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity.

Here we report on the identification and applications of an aqueous 29-atom silver cluster stabilized with 12 lipoate ligands, i.e. Ag(R-α-LA) or (29,12), wherein R-α-LA = R-α-lipoic acid, a natural dithiolate.
