Abstract

Two enantiomers of [Bu₄N]₃[Cu₃(mnt)₃] (1) formed by Na₂(mnt) (mnt = maleonitriledithiolate, [S₂C₂(CN)₂]^2-) and CuCl in a 1:1 molar ratio react further with MCl (M = Cu or Ag) involving both the enantiomers of 1 to produce the larger complex, [Bu₄N]₄[Cu₆M₂(mnt)₆] (M = Cu (2), Ag (3)) from which the capped Cu+ or Ag+ ion can readily be removed by Bu₄NX (X = Cl, Br), reverting 2 or 3 back to 1. Such reversal does not work with non-coordinating anions like BF₄^-, ClO₄^- and PF₆^-.
