Silver clusters are attractive candidates for their promising optical properties, and biomedical activities. Herein, we report on the first syntheses and isolation of three homo-/mixed-valence silver nanoclusters (NCs) with Ag Cl , Ag , and Ag cores [((cAAC)P) Ag Cl ](OTf) (1), [((cAAC)P) Ag ] (2), and [((cAAC)P) Ag ] (3) having three-/twofold symmetry, employing cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene (cAAC)-supported phosphinidenide (cAACP ) as the π-accepting stabilizing ligand. The average diameters of Ag NCs 1, and 2 are approximately 1.

All compounds have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and further investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometric analysis, and UV-vis/fluorescence measurements. The paramagnetic complex has been characterized by ESR spectroscopy.

- The study successfully synthesized and stabilized phosphinidene-chlorotetrylenes, specifically [PGeCl] and [PSiCl], using cyclic alkyl(amino) carbenes (cAAC) and N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) as ligands, marking the first time these types of neutral monomeric species have been isolated at room temperature.
- Compounds [PGeCl] and [PSiCl] were initially created through reactions between cAAC-supported potassium phosphinidenides and GeCl or SiCl adducts, and their structures were examined using techniques like single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy.
