We present a new family of Ag(I) complexes bearing calixarene-based tetraethynide ligands, namely, [Ag12(L1)2·(CH3CN)4·(NO3)4]·2H2O (1), [Ag4L1·(AgCF3CO2)4·(CH3OH)] (2), [Ag4L2·(AgCF3CO2)4]·H2O (3), and [Ag4L3·(AgCF3CO2)4]·0.75CH3COCH3 (4), which were obtained from the reaction of newly synthesized tetraethynyl functionalized resorcin[4]arenes with silver(I) salts. Complex 1 features a 4/m assembly comprising a Ag12 cage sandwiched by two bowl-shaped resorcin[4]arene tetraethynides, while 2–4 exhibit similar silver(I) chain structures each stabilized by an alternate attachment of bowl-shaped resorcin[4]arene tetraethynide units. This work provides the successful example of the use of calixarene-based ligands for the construction of multinuclear silver(I)–ethynide supramolecular frameworks.
