Abstract
Abstract We have prepared a novel water-soluble silver(I) complex showing effective antibacterial activities K12[Ag8(mba)10]·12H2O (1a, H2mba = 2-mercaptobenzoic acid) from the Ag2O : H2mba : KOH = 1 : 4 : 8 molar ratio reaction in aqueous media and determined its crystal structure. The X-ray crystallography revealed that 1a was a discrete, anionic octanuclear silver(I) cluster consisting of two butterfly-type Ag4S4 subunits bridged by two µ3-S atoms.
