Abstract
We have prepared a novel water-soluble silver(I) complex showing effective antibacterial activities K-12[Ag-8(mba)(10)]. 12H(2)O (1a, H(2)mba = 2-merc aptobenzoic acid) from the Ag2O : H(2)mba : KOH = 1 : 4 : 8 molar ratio rea ction in aqueous media and determined its crystal structure. The X-ray crys tallography revealed that la was a discrete, anionic octanuclear silver(I) cluster consisting of two butterfly-type AE,SI subunits bridged by two mu(3 )-S atoms.
