Synthesis, Structures, and Photoluminescence of Elongated Face-Centered-Cubic Ag14 Clusters Containing Lipoic Acid and Its Amide Analogue

Three face-centered-cubic (fcc) silver clusters—namely, [Ag14(LA)2(HLA)4(PPh3)8]2– (1), [Ag14(HLA)6(PPh3)8] (2), and [Ag14(NLA)6(PPh3)8] (3)—that are coprotected by lipoic acid (or its amide deriva...
