Abstract
A new silver(i)-alkynyl cluster with a [Eu(W5O18)2]9- polyoxoanionic core of [Ag42{Eu(W5O18)2}(tBuCC)28Cl4] [OH]·H2O (1) has been designed and synthesized. The [Eu(W5O18)2]9- polyoxoanion acts as a template to induce the formation of the surrounding 42-core Ag(i) cage. Due to the hydrophobic silver(i)-alkynyl shell, 1 features an unusual fluorescence enhancement as compared to the precursor of the [Eu(W5O18)2]9- polyoxoanionic core. Interestingly, the silver ions in the shell silver(i)-alkynyl cage can only be reduced to silver atoms by irradiation with high energy UV light (2 kW). Upon high UV irradiation, fluorescence quenching of 1 has been observed. Moreover, the solution fluorescence of 1 can be modulated by addition of S2- ions into the system, which also leads to the fluorescence quenching phenomenon. The successful synthesis of 1 demonstrates a new route to the detection of high energy UV irradiation or S2- ions by elaborate design of fluorescence quenching of silver(i)-alkynyl clusters.
