Graphical Abstract
Silver in a gold mine: A triple-decker AuI–AgI ion cluster was synthesized by alternate alignment of cyclic trinuclear AuI complexes and AgI ions within a self-assembled cage. The box-shaped cavity of the cage is suitable not only for limiting the cluster number, but also for the stabilization of weakly associated metal ions, which cannot exist without the help of the cage.

- 9In this study, we discussed the molecular geometry of the largest portion of disordered molecules. The Au⋅⋅⋅Ag distances are close to those observed in an infinite (Au3–Ag–Au3)n crystalline chain (2.731–2.922 Å), see ref. [5a].
- 10These Au⋅⋅⋅Ag distances are less than the sum of the van der Waals radii (3.4 Å); see:
- 10aA. Bondi, J. Phys. Chem. 1964, 68, 441–451; for Au⋅⋅⋅Ag interactions, see:

- 11The Au⋅⋅⋅Ag distances ranged from 2.774 to 2.818 Å.
- 12AuI–AgI ion clusters were not emissive, as cage 1 strongly absorbs light with λ<350 nm and host–guest interactions can also efficiently quench guest emission; see:
