Abstract

Monolayer-protected clusters of silver have been synthesised by the NaBH₄ reduction of a mixture of silver nitrate and the crown ether (6-mercaptohexyloxy)methyl-15-crown-5, or the triosmium cluster derivative Os₃(μ-H)(CO)₁₀[(6-mercaptohexyloxy)methyl-15-crown-5]. The nanoparticles showed good stability, are soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, and are luminescent.
