Yadav V, Jana A, Acharya S, Malola S, Nagar H, Sharma A, et al.
Nat Commun . 2025 Jan; 16(1):1197. PMID: 39885129
We report the synthesis of [Ag(o-CBT)] abbreviated as Ag, a stable 8e⁻ anionic cluster with a unique Ag@Ag@Ag core-shell structure, where o-CBT is ortho-carborane-1-thiol. By substituting Ag atoms with Au...
