Abstract

All three coinage metals are present in the supramolecular compound created from D-penicillamine (D-H2pen) by stepwise reaction with Au I, AgI, and CuII in the presence of Cl -. In this compound, 20-nuclear monocationic [Au6Ag 8Cu6Cl-(H2O)5(D-pen) 12]+ and 21-nuclear monoanionic [Au6Ag 9Cu6Cl4(H2O)6(D-pen) 12]- (see picture) supramolecular cages, each of which accommodates a Cl- ion (green), are linked so as to form a giant rock-salt-like lattice structure.
