An array of coordination-driven supramolecular metal–ligand clusters has been synthesized using polytopic phosphine ligands and coinage metals (Cu+, Ag+, Au+). Rigid 3-fold or 2-fold symmetric phosphine ligands have been prepared: 1,3,5-tris((4-(diphenylphosphino)­ethynyl)­phenyl)­benzene) (tppepb,...
