In the absence of coordinating solvents and anions, silver salts and triphosphines form viscous, thixotropic coordination polymers in solution, which aggregate into unusual wormlike macroscopic structures and undergo cage-polymer interconversions depending on the stoichiometry and presence of templating anions.
Novel electroactive multimetallic compounds based on the [Pt(2)(mu(2)-S)(2)M] core, viz. [Pt(2)(PPh(3))(4)(mu(3)-S)(2)HgFc]PF(6) (1) [Fc = (eta(5)-C(5)H(4))Fe(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))] and [Pt(2)(PPh(3))(4)(mu(3)-S)(2)Hg(2)Fc'](PF(6))(2) (2) [Fc' = Fe(eta(5)-C(5)H(4))(2)], have been synthesized under the guide of electrospray mass spectrometry. The electrochemistry of these ferrocene funtionalized compounds together with the reported [Pt(2)(PPh(3))(4)(mu(3)-S)(2)HgPPh(3)](PF(6))(2) (3), [Pt(2)(PPh(3))(4)(mu(2)-S)(mu(3)-S)HgPh]PF(6) (4), and [Pt(2)(PPh(3))(4)(mu(2)-S)(mu(3)-S)AuPPh(3)]PF(6) (5) have been investigated using cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations. These results point to a prominent ligand-based oxidation.
Silver salts and triphosphine ligands with biphenyl substituents assemble to give coordination cages with four external aromatic channel receptors in a pseudo-tetrahedral arrangement.

Addition of anionic benzylsulfate dendrons to dynamic mixtures of Ag+ and triphosphine ligands results in the assembly of loosely-bonded cage-core dendrimers.
