Trapping a [W10O32]6− Decatungstate Anion in an Ag44 Nanowheel

Compound [Ag44(W10O32)(StBu)24(CF3COO)8](CF3COO)6 ⋅ 6H2O (1) was synthesized through a one‐pot method. This is the first case of isolating a new silver thiolate cluster containing a [W10O32]6− template which transforms from WO42− polyoxoanion through a self‐assembly process. The anionic nature of the reduced [W10O32]6− template and the effective silver‐oxygen interaction contribute to the formation of the Ag44 nanowheel in 1. The luminescence, photocatalytic activity and electrochemistry properties of 1 were studied.
