摘要

Sandwich-type complexes are a class of metallocene-like assemblies known for their exceptional stability and physicochemical properties. In this study, we designed and synthesized a heptanuclear all-metal sandwich structure (termed Au6Ag) with a silver ion capped by two cyclic trinuclear gold(I)-pyrazolates. Au6Ag is soluble in dichloromethane and can self-assemble into a metallogel through intermolecular gold-gold interactions and multiple hydrogen bonds. The reversible transformation of Au6Ag between solid, solution, and gel states can be achieved through dissolution/dilution, aging, and drying processes. In all states, Au6Ag maintains a consistent bright green phosphorescence with a record-high quantum yield of 47.5% in gel form and over 96% in a diluted solution free of oxygen quenching. We envision that Au6Ag has great potential in luminescence and bioimaging applications as a stable phosphorescent gel material.
