The reduction of alkynyl‐silver and phosphine‐silver precursors with a weak reducing reagent Ph2SiH2 led to the formation of a novel silver nanocluster [Ag93(PPh3)6(C≡CR)50]3+ (R=4‐CH3OC6H4), which is the largest structurally characterized cluster of clusters. This disc‐shaped cluster has a Ag69 ker...
