The terphspan scaffold was employed to support a bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand () that provides a m-terphenyl canopy over one side of its metal complexes. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies on a silver complex of {[Ag()]AgBr(2)}(2) revealed an unusual tetranuclear silver core with a Ag-Ag bond distance of 3.0241(8) A with as a trans-chelating ligand (C-Ag-C = 171 degrees ). A prelimi...

This paper describes a simple preparation of single-crystalline Ag-nanoparticles including plates, and wires in water by truncated triangular particles for the first time during the reduction of [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ complex with glucose at room temperature. Silver particles were characterized by means of the conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-VIS spectroscopy. Cetyltrimethylammon...

In this study, highly efficient silver halide (AgX)-based photocatalysts were successfully fabricated using a facile and template-free direct-precipitation method. AgX nanoparticles, which included silver chloride (AgCl), silver bromide (AgBr) and silver iodide (AgI), were synthesized using different potassium halides and silver acetate as reactive sources. The size distribution of the AgX nano...
