Abstract The n ‐butylphosphonate ligand has been employed to construct three new silver(I) thiolate compounds. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis revealed that complexes 1 and 2 are Ag 48 and Ag 51 coordination chain polymers, while 3 contains a discrete Ag 48 cluster, in which three different kinds of silver(I) thiolate cluster shells enclose three different phosphonate‐functionalized silver(I) cluster cores, respectively. The structures of clusters in 1 – 3 feature three three‐shell arrangements, S@Ag 12 @( n BuPO 3 ) 9 @Ag 36 S 23 , S@Ag 11 @( n BuPO 3 ) 7 (MoO 4 ) 2 @Ag 40 S 27 and MoO 4 @Ag 12 @( n BuPO 3 ) 8 S 6 @Ag 36 S 24 , respectively.
