Abstract

Two atom-precise silver nanoclusters [Ag₂₅Cl₂(Tab)₁₄(PhCOO)₁₁(DMF)₄](PF₆)₁₂ (Ag₂₅, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide) and [Ag₂₆Cl₂(Tab)₁₄(PhCOO)₁₃(DMAc)₄](PF₆)₁₁(Ag₂₆, DMAc=N,N-dimethylacetamide) were synthesized based on the electrically neutral thiolate protective ligand, 4-(trimethylammonio)benzenethiolate (Tab). The weak Ag-S interaction in Tab-protected silver nanoclusters allows to insert or leave a single silver atom in the Ag-S skeleton through solvent-trigger core fragmentation and re-arrangement, thereby realizing the reversible conversion of Ag₂₅ and Ag₂₆ for the first time.
