Inexpensive 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole and di(2-pyridyl) thionocarbonate have been used as respective sulfide precursors to assemble unprecedented high-nuclearity ethynide-stabilized silver(i) sulfido molecular clusters [Ag9S6@Ag36(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C(t)Bu)32(H2O)2] Ag(imidazole)(CH3OH)(H2O)2·8H2O·2CH3OH (1) and Ag120S24(PhC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)52Cl4(2-pyridone)10(H2O)84(SiF6)8(BF4)4·CH3OH·22H2O (2), the latter being the largest isolated silver(i) ethynide cluster reported to date.
