Abstract

A tetrasilver(I) phosphonitocavitand was synthesized and structurally characterized. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1/n with a = 15.0151(13), b = 39.832(4), c = 15.2479(14) Å β = 95.1000(2)°, V = 9083.3(14) Å3 and Z = 4. The structure contains four coplanar silver atoms bridged by four μ-Cl and one central trapped μ4-Cl atoms in the inside of the closing bowl-shaped cavitand. Nonlinear optical properties of this metal-cavitand were investigated. Optical liniiting effect with threshold of 0.6 J cm-2 was observed with the laser pulses of 7 ns at 532 nm.
