An organometallic/silica nanocomposite of a 1D cylindrical assembly of a trinuclear gold(I)–pyrazolate complex ([Au 3 Pz 3 ]) that was confined inside the nanoscopic channels of hexagonal mesoporous silica ([Au 3 Pz 3 ]/silica hex ), emitted red light with a luminescence center at 693 nm upon photoexcitation at 276 nm owing to a Au I Au I metallophilic interaction. When a film of [Au 3 Pz 3 ]/silica hex was dipped into a solution of Ag + in tetrahydrofuran (THF), the resulting nanocomposite material (Ag@[Au 3 Pz 3 ]/silica hex ) emitted green light with a new luminescence center at 486 nm, which was characteristic of a Au I Ag I heterometallic interaction. Changes in the emission/excitation and XPS spectra of Ag@[Au 3 Pz 3 ]/silica hex revealed that Ag + ions permeated into the congested nanochannels of [Au 3 Pz 3 ]/silica hex , which were filled with the cylindrical assembly of [Au 3 Pz 3 ].
