Graphical Abstract
Gilded rafts: Oligomeric 2D raft clusters {M[m]}n (M=Cu, n=3; M=Ag or Au, n=4; see picture) with the same bridging metalloligand [m]={CpMo(CO)3} were prepared and structurally characterized. The ν2-triangular (M=Cu) or ν2-square (M=Ag, Au) structures of their metal–metal-bonded cores allow comparative evaluation of the d10⋅⋅⋅d10 interactions, and theoretical calculations point to a favorable contribution of diagonal Au⋅⋅⋅Au or Ag⋅⋅⋅Ag interactions.

- 10All calculations were carried out with the Gaussian 03 software suite.[11] Stuttgart–Dresden relativistic electron core potentials were used for all metals. The valence shell of the metal atoms, namely, the nspd and (n+1)s shells, were described by means of triple-ζ Gaussian basis sets, supplemented with diffuse p functions and with one f-type polarization function (G. Frenking et al., Chem. Phys. Lett. 1993, 208, 111–114). In the DFT/B3LYP calculations, C, O, and H atoms were described by all-electron 6-311G** basis sets. The single-point MP2 calculations were carried out on the geometry optimized at the DFT level. The same basis sets were used for the metal atoms, but the other atoms were described with smaller, LANL2DZ basis sets.

- 12In the triangular clusters with C1 symmetry, 11 out of 12 carbonyl ligands display a semibridging bonding mode. At variance with the case of the Cs triangles, this coordination mode is retained for all three coinage metals, and thus gives rise to a large average deformation energy for the {MoCp(CO)3} fragments (Figure 5). All computed structures are displayed in the Supporting Information.
- 13A coordination mode in which all carbonyl ligands are engaged in semibridging bonds with copper was designed in square-like model complexes of Cu with D2 and S4 symmetries. The 12 semibridging interactions subsisted after geometry optimization, and the total bond energies differed by less than 1 kJ mol−1 from that of the most stable square structure with S4 symmetry and nine semibridging interactions. Similar configurations optimized with Ag and Au are however significantly destabilized.
