AgCl, dissolved in ether solvents with tertiary phosphine ligands, rea
cts with a combination of the silylated reagents Te(SiMe3)(2) and Te(R
')SiMe3 (R' = Ph, mes) to yield the cluster complexes [Ag-30(TePh)(12)
Te-9(PEt2R)(12)] (R = Et 1a, Ph 1b) and [Ag-46{Te(mes)}(12)Te-17(PEt3)
(16)] 2 in good yields; the molecular structures of 1a and 2 are descr
ibed.
