Synthesis, Structure, Biological Activity, and Luminescence Properties of a "Butterfly"-Type Silver Cluster with 3-Benzyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-thiol.

A new silver(I) cluster [AgL(Py)(Pype)]·4Py·11HO () with 3-benzyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-thiol (L) was synthesized via the direct reaction of AgNO and L in MeOH, followed by recrystallization from a pyridine-piperidine mixture. The compound was isolated in a monocrystal form and its crystal structure was determined via single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex forms a "butterfly" cluster with triazol-5-thioles.
