| Abstract
| - Reaction of RNHC(S)PPh2NPPh2C(S)NR (HRSNS; R = Me, Et) with MI (M = Cu, Ag, Au) saltsafforded zwitterionic complexes of the general formula [M(RSNS)] (M = Cu, Ag, Au). The ligand was foundin the solid state in S,S-κ2 and S,N,S-κ3 coordination fashions. [Cu(RSNS)] and [Ag(RSNS)] can be usedas metalloligand building blocks for the assembly of pentanuclear multizwitterionic Cu5, Cu3Ag2 and Ag5core clusters of the general formula [M‘2{M(RSNS)}3]2+ (M = Cu, M‘ = Cu, Ag; M = M‘ = Ag) upon reactionwith suitable M‘ salts. The crystal structures of the most significant compounds are reported herein.Compound [Ag2{Ag(RSNS)}2(OTf)2] was also isolated and structurally characterized, representing a modelfor the intermediate species of the aforementioned assembly.
