Treasure chests : The Group 11 metals Cu I , Ag I , and Au I form tetrahedral supramolecular clusters with a rigid threefold‐symmetric phosphine ligand. These supramolecular clusters, which assemble by metal–phosphine interactions, are the first to form across an entire group of the periodic table. Cu + green, Ag + pale blue, Au + green, I − red, P purple.
