All that′s nano is not gold : Definite, crystalline molecular compounds of noble metals have been known for gold for the last few years. Now a simple synthesis of a nanoscale silver cluster compound containing [Ag 44 (S‐C 6 H 4 COOH) 30 ] 4− ions has been found leading to gram scales quantities. Synthetic, structural, and bonding aspects of this novel compound are discussed in the context of metalloid clusters in general.
