Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Complex [Ag(NIT3Py)_3]·(ClO_4)(H_2O)

1 INTRODUCTION Nitronyl nitroxide radicals (NITR), stable organic radicals, have played an important role in the design and synthesis of molecular magnetic materials1, 2]. However, nitronyl nitroxide radicals are poor elec- tron-donor ligands and their coordination ability is limited. Recently, it has led to the development of functionalized nitronyl nitroxide radicals in which a strong coligand is incorporated. Due to the strong coordinate ability of nitrogen atom from pryidinyl ring,…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Complex [Ag(NIT3Py)_3]·(ClO_4)(H_2O)

A novel complex Ag(NIT3Py)3]?(ClO4)(H2O) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the rhombohedral system, space group R 3 with a = 15.8227(17), b = 15.8227(17), c = 31.445(3) ?, γ = 120°, V = 6817.8(12) ?3, Dc = 1.370 g/cm3, Z = 6, μ = 0.566 mm-1, Mr = 937.18, F(000) = 2916, R = 0.0715, wR = 0.2115 and GOF = 1.086. The structure consists of Ag(NIT3Py)3+ cation moiety, one water molecule and one perchloric ion. The Ag(I) ion is in a trigonal planar coordination environment formed by three nitrogen atoms from three NIT3Py ligand molecules.
