Synthesis, Structure and Gas‐Phase Reactivity of a Silver Hydride Complex [Ag3{(PPh2)2CH2}3(μ3‐H)(μ3‐Cl)]BF41. Issue 32 (21st June 2013) - Zavras, Athanasios
Abstract Mass spectrometry shows the way! MS analysis of silver salts treated with sodium borohydride in the presence of a bis(phosphino) ligand revealed the formation of novel silver hydride nanocluster cations instead of all silver nanocluster cations. This serendipitous discovery prompted the condensed‐phase synthesis, isolation, and characterization of [Ag3{(Ph2P)2CH2}3(μ3‐H)(μ3‐Cl)]BF4⋅0.5 CHCl3.
