Adamantane-type organo-group 14 chalcogenide clusters were shown to possess extreme non-linear optical properties. Reactivity studies of corresponding organosilicon sulfide clusters towards copper and silver complexes indicate a replacement of exactly one of the organosilicon groups with a metal complex fragment to form [(Et₃PAg)₃(PhSi)₃S₆] (1) and [Na₂(thf)_2.33][(Me₃PCu)(PhSi)₃S₆] (2)—in striking contrast to reactions of organotin chalcogenide clusters, which are more significantly and less systematically re-organized. The silicon compounds are thus more suited for controlled modifications of their geometric and electronic structures.

用铸币金属配合物碎片选择性替换簇 [(PhSi)4S6] 中的有机硅单元

金刚烷型有机基团 14 硫族化物簇被证明具有极端的非线性光学特性。相应的有机硅硫化物簇对铜和银配合物的反应性研究表明，有机硅基团中的一个恰好被金属配合物碎片取代，形成 [(Et ₃ PAg) ₃ ( PhSi ) ₃ S ₆ ] ( 1 ) 和 [Na _{2 ]} (thf) _2.33 ][(Me ₃ PCu)(PhSi) ₃ S ₆ ] ( 2)——与有机锡硫族化物簇的反应形成鲜明对比，后者更显着且不太系统地重新组织。因此，硅化合物更适合于对其几何和电子结构进行受控修改。
