The formation of high‐nuclearity silver(I) clusters remains elusive and their potential applications are still underdeveloped. Herein, we firstly prepared a chain‐like thiolated AgI complex {[Ag18(StBu)10(NO3)8(CH3CN)2(H2O)2] ⋅ [Ag18(StBu)10(NO3)8(CH3CN)6]}n (abbreviated as Ag18) in which two simila...
