1. General
Crystallographic data for all crystals were collected on KM-4-CCD and Xcalibur four-
circle diffractometers with a Ruby and Onyx charge coupled device detectors with Mo Kα
radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) and processed with the CrysAlis PRO program.S1 The infrared (IR)
and far infrared (FIR) spectra were recorded on a Bruker Vertex 70 FTIR spectrometer
(Bruker) as nujol mulls. The UV-visible spectra were performed on a Cary500 SCAN UV-
VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. Elemental analyses were performed on an elemental analyzer
CHNS Vario EL III, Elemental Analysensysteme GmbH. Mass spectrometric experiments
were performed on a Bruker micrOTOF-Q mass spectrometer (Bruker, Daltonics, Bremen
Germany).
2. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies
All structures were solved with the use of SHELXS-97 and refined by full-matrix least-
squares on F2 using SHELXL-97 program.S2 An analytical absorption corrections were
introduced.S1 For preparation of figures and scheme DIAMOND graphical program was
used.S3 In all structures the H atoms of aromatic rings were treated as riding atoms in
geometrically idealized positions, with d(C—H) = 0.95 and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) as well as H
atoms of methyl groups (1a-d) and H atoms derived from hydroxy groups (1a-c, 1e) were
introduced in positions calculated from geometry, with d(C—H) = 0.98 or 0.99 Å, d(O—H) =
0.84 or 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).
The studied crystals of the host-guest complexes 1a-d and 1f are isomorphous and the
structure of 1c was investigated as a first one. The preliminary atomic coordinates of the
cluster [Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8 (PPh3)8] in structures 1a, 1b, and 1d were taken from the 1c
structure solution and in the case of structure 1f the preliminary coordinates of the cluster
were taken from 1a.
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8]∙5MeOH∙0.75H2O (1c)
In 1c after the refinement of the positions of all atoms in the cluster [Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8
(PPh3)8] and methanol molecules (O11/C11, O12/C12 and O13/C13), on the difference
Fourier map the additional maxima appeared. These peaks were interpreted as a disorder of
methanol and water. The positions of MeOH molecules denoted as O14/C14 and O15/C15,
O16/C16 and C17/C17 were refined with s.o.f. = 0.5 (site occupancy factor) and the water
molecules were refined with s.o.f. = 0.25 (O1W) and 0.5 (O2W). The carbon atoms in all
methanol molecules were refined isotropically. The disorder of solvents was modeled using
3
PART commands (which enabled setting up hydrogen atoms for the overlapping disordered
molecules) and in the case of methanol molecules SAME restraints were also applied. H
atoms of hydroxyl groups were introduced in positions calculated from geometry using
command AFIX 147 (H11, H13) or AFIX 83 (H12, H14 – H17). Hydrogen atoms of methyl
groups were positioned geometrically using the instruction HFIX 137 (for H atoms bonded to
methyl C12 and C13 atoms) and the command AFIX 3 (for H atoms of C11, C14 – C17
atoms) was finally used because of large values of displacement parameters of carbon atoms
of methyl group.
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8]∙5EtOH (1a)
After the refinement in the created model the disorder of ethanol molecules (O14/C14/C24,
O15/C15/C25, O16/C16/C26 and O17/C17/C27) was observed, which were refined
isotropically (except the O14 atom) with following occupancies of 0.70, 0.30, 0.65, 0.35,
respectively. The disorder was handled by using PART instructions as well as SAME and
SADI restraints. The hydroxyl hydrogen atoms were introduced in geometrically idealized
positions using command HFIX 83 for H12, H15 atoms, and in the case of H11, H13, H14
atoms command AFIX 3 was finally used. Hydrogen atoms of methyl groups were introduced
and refined using a riding model by the command AFIX 33 and command AFIX 3 (for H
atoms bonded to C25) was used.
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8]∙2MeCN∙H2O (1b)
On the final difference Fourier map additional peaks were observed, which were introduced to
the structure solution and interpreted as disordered molecules of acetonitrile and water. The
solvent molecules were refined isotropically and the disorder was modeled using DFIX
constraints and PART commands.
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8]∙3Me2CO (1d)
After the refinement the created model shown that three molecules of acetone were
incorporated into the cavity of the host framework [Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8] (in the
course of the acetone sorption, Experimental Section). In order to check whether all guest
occupancies are 100% we refined the model with occupancies of solvent molecules as free
variables that revealed the site occupancy factor (s.o.f.) of each acetone molecule is almost 1,
[as follows: 0.845(17), 0.970(19), 0.864(18)]. However, from the chemical point of view it
seemed to be reasonable to refine the occupancy factors of acetone as integer number 1. To
4
prevent displacement parameters of some atoms from being “non-positive definite” (NPD),
the EADP (for atoms of carbonyl and cyanide ligands) and SIMU instructions (in the case of
atoms of phenyl rings) were used.
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8]∙2BuOH (1e)
The refined model revealed that in the cavity of the host complex there are two disordered
butan-1-ol molecules. The disorder was modeled over two equally occupied positions using
DFIX instructions. Similarly to 1d, the commands of EADP and SIMU were applied in order
to refine displacement parameters of atoms that were “non-positive definite”.
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8]∙4EtOH (1f)
As was mentioned before, the preliminary atomic coordinates of the host complex
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8] in the structure 1f were taken from the 1a structure solution.
All C, N and O atoms in the structure were refined isotropically. Similarly to 1e, and 1d
structures, the EADP and SIMU instructions were used in order to refine displacement
parameters of all “non-positive definite” atoms. Moreover, phenyl rings were refined by the
use of AFIX 66 restraints. It emerged that in the result of crystals soaking, crystal lattice is the
same as in 1a, with ethanol molecules absorbed into the host cavity in the same positions, but
lower occupancy factors per cluster compared to 1a (the refinement of coordinates of EtOH
molecules was performed using DFIX constraints).
{ReAg1.5(CN)2.5(CO)2(PPh3)2} (3)
After the refinement on the difference Fourier map the additional maxima close to Ag2, N5
and C5 atoms appeared. The created model revealed that in the structure the Ag2 atom and
bridging cyanide groups (atoms N5, C5 as well as C2, N2 and C3, N3) and terminal carbonyl
groups (atoms C2, O2X and C3, O3X) are disordered. In each case the disorder was modeled
over two positions with occupancies of 0.810(14) (Ag2), 0.190(14) (Ag3), 0.405(7) (N5 and
C5) and 0.095(7) (N50 and C50) and the site occupancy factors (s.o.f.) of Ag1 atom equals
0.5. Created model shown that both groups (N5, C5 and N50, C50) occurred in the same
positions that was interpreted as the statistical disorder. Moreover on the difference Fourier
map the additional maxima close to C atoms of two phenyl rigs (viz.
C1G/C2G/C3G/C4G/C5G/C6G and C1H/C2H/C3H/C4H/C5H/C6H) were observed, which
were interpreted as a disorder. In the structure the EADP and SIMU instructions were used for
all “non-positive definite” atoms. The disorder of silver atoms and bridging cyanide ligands
5
complicate the interpretation of the structure. The proposed model presents a discrete
decanuclear complex (Fig. S1, S2).
3. Crystal structures description
Crystals 1a-d and 1f are isomorphous and are built up from molecules of the host complex
[Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8(PPh3)8] (1) located in general position, while in 1e the basic structure
is centrosymmetric (Fig. S4). In 1a-d and 1f structures an average diagonal (the Re–Re
distance) in the pseudo-square-shaped framework [Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8 is 14.7 Å, while in
1e the host framework adopts rather a pseudo-rectangular geometry with diagonals (the Re–
Re distances) of 13.7 and 15.6 Å.
All 1a-e crystals have the channeling architecture composed of the cavity-shaped molecules
of cluster [Re4Ag4(µ-CN)8(CO)8 (PPh3)8] (1). Channels stretching along the [100] direction
contain the embedded molecules of solvents: EtOH (1a), MeCN (1b), MeOH, H2O,(1c)
acetone (1d), butan-1-ol (1e), within which guest molecules are linked each other by weak C-
H…π hydrogen bonds (Tables S3, S5, S7, S9 and S12). The molecules of solvents are
involved in the host-guest interactions with the cluster molecules by hydrogen bonds of the
type C–H…O [in 1b: C23–H23C···O1W in 1c: C4C–H4C···O12iii, C4R–H4R···O12;] C–H…π
[in 1b: C21–H21B···Cg21; in 1c: C13–H13B···Cg21ix], C–H…N [in 1a: C25–H25B···N7]
or/and van der Waals contacts.

Fig. S12. The UV–Vis absorption spectrum performed for 2 complex for a solid sample.
The UV-Vis absorption spectra performed for 1 and 2 complexes show broad bands in the
range of about 350 – 250 nm that could be interpreted as overlapping of the LMCT (ligand-to-
metal charge-transfer) d(P)→ d(Re), d(N)→ d(Ag) (1, 2), and d(P)→ d(Ag) (for 2)
transitions.

The IR spectra revealed the presence of solvents molecules incorporated into channels. The characteristic bands derived from guest molecules were observed as follows: v(O-H) = 3359, v(C–O) = 1047 and v(C–C) = 879 cm-1 for 1a (1-EtOH); v(C≡N) = 2251 cm-1 for 1b (1-MeCN); v(O-H) = 3398, v(C–O) = 1025 cm-1 for 1c (1-MeOH); v(C=O) = 1709 and v(C–C) = 1218 cm-1 for 1d (1-Me2CO).
28
7. TGA diagramsIn the diagram performed for soaked crystals the loss of solvent is observed at about 150 oC and the organic part of the cluster starts to remove from about 250 oC. In the dried crystals there is no weight loss until 250 oC, which indicates the absence of solvent in the dried sample.
