The first sandwich silver cluster of a trinuclear cyclic gold(I) complex

A new type of metal sandwich structure [Ag{[Au(µ-N3,C2- bzim)]3}2]BF4·CH2Cl2 1, is formed by reacting the neutral, triangular cluster [Au(µ-N3,C2-bzim)]3 with Ag+; these units stack with two short intermolecular Au···Au distances of ca. 3.2 A.
