Thiacalix[4]arenes as a family of promising ligands have been widely used to construct polynuclear metal clusters, but scarcely employed in silver nanoclusters. Herein, an anion-templated Ag<sub>88</sub> nanocluster (SD/Ag88a) built from p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (H<sub>4</sub>TC4A) is reported. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that C<sub>4</sub>-symmetric SD/Ag88a resembles a metal-organic super calix comprised of eight TC4A<sup>4-</sup> as walls and 88 silver atoms as base, which c ...[more]
