    Abstract

    A not-so-innocent counterion: A facile synthetic method has been successfully developed to construct two unusual discrete, octanuclear planar "open" distorted-square M/S/Ag clusters {[Sr(DMAC)6] 2[M4S16Ag4]} (M=Mo, W; DMAC=N,N'-dimethylacetylamide) and a unique 1D double-chain W/S/Ag cluster {[Sr(DMAC)6][W2S8Ag4I 2]}n (see figure). Z-scan experiments show that {[Sr(DMAC)6]2[Mo4S16Ag4]} exhibits strong third-order non-linear optical properties and a large optical limiting capability.
