In core-shell silver nanoclusters, the control of core structure presents a more formidable challenge compared to that of the shell structure. Here, we report the successful synthesis and characterization of four distinct silver thiolate nanoclusters [MS₄@Ag₁₂@Ag₄₆S₂₄(dppb)₁₂] (M = Mo or W), each incorporating a cup-like [MS₄@Ag₁₂]²⁺ kernel. These nanoclusters were meticulously prepared using (NH₄)₂MoS₄ or (NH₄)₂WS₄ as both a template and a controlled source of S²⁻ ions. Remarkably, we have observed a unique configuration within these eight-electron superatomic Ag₅₈ nanoclusters, where the zero-valent Ag atoms reside exclusively within the inner [MS₄@Ag₁₂]²⁺ kernel. This stands in contrast to other superatomic clusters possessing an Ag(0) core. Notably, the introduction of phenyl-containing compounds during the synthesis process induced a transformation in the space group symmetry from C2/c to I4. This transformative effect was found to originate from the interplay between adjacent 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) ligands, which facilitated enhanced emission through aggregation-induced intermolecular interactions, specifically C−H···π interactions. Collectively, our findings contribute substantively to the understanding of the intricate relationship between nanocluster structures and their corresponding properties, shedding light on the crucial roles played by templates and diphosphine ligands in this context.
