Anion‐directed Silver(I) Coordination Assemblies Based on 1‐(2‐Pyridyl)‐2‐(4‐pyridyl)‐1,2,4‐triazolewith Diverse Supramolecular Networks and Dichromate Removal Capabilities

A series of silver(I) supramolecular complexes, namely, {[Ag(L²⁴)](NO₃)}_n ( 1 ), [Ag₂(L²⁴)(NO₂)₂]_n ( 2 ), and {[Ag_1.25(L²⁴)(DMF)](PF₆)_1.25}_n ( 3 ) were prepared by the reactions of 1‐(2‐pyridyl)‐2‐(4‐pyridyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole (L²⁴) and silver(I) salts with different anions (AgNO₃, AgNO₂, AgPF₆). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction indicates that 1 – 3 display diverse supramolecular networks. The structure of dinuclear complex 1 is composed of a six‐membered Ag₂N₄ ring with the Ag ··· Ag distance of 4.4137(3) Å. In complex 2 , the adjacent Ag^I centers are interlinked by L²⁴ ligands into a 1D chain, the adjacent of which are further extended by the bridged nitrites to construct a 2D coordination architecture. Complex 3 shows a 3D (3,4)‐connected framework, which is generated by the linkage of L²⁴ ligands. All complexes were characterized by IR spectra, elemental analysis, and powder X‐ray diffraction. Notably, a structural comparison of the complexes demonstrates that their structures are predominated by the nature of anions. Additionally, 1 and 2 show efficient dichromate (Cr₂O₇^2–) capture in water system, which can be ascribed to the anion‐exchange.     

Silver(I) sulfate coordination polymers with 4,4′‐bipyridazine and pyridazino[4,5‐d]pyridazine

Poly[[μ₄‐4,4′‐bipyridazine‐μ₅‐sulfato‐disilver(I)] monohydrate], {[Ag₂(SO₄)(C₈H₆N₄)]·H₂O}_n, (I), and poly[[aqua‐μ₄‐pyridazino[4,5‐d]pyridazine‐μ₃‐sulfato‐disilver(I)] monohydrate], {[Ag₂(SO₄)(C₆H₄N₄)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, (II), possess three‐ and two‐dimensional polymeric structures, respectively, supported by N‐tetradentate coordination of the organic ligands [Ag—N = 2.208 (3)–2.384 (3) Å] and O‐pentadentate coordination of the sulfate anions [Ag—O = 2.284 (3)–2.700 (2) Å]. Compound (I) is the first structurally examined complex of the new ligand 4,4′‐bipyridazine; it is based upon unprecedented centrosymmetric silver–pyridazine tetramers with tetrahedral AgN₂O₂ and trigonal–bipyramidal AgN₂O₃ coordination of two independent Ag^I ions. Compound (II) adopts a typical dimeric silver–pyridazine motif incorporating two kinds of square‐pyramidal AgN₂O₃ Ag^I ions. The structure exhibits short anion–π interactions involving noncoordinated sulfate O atoms [O...π = 3.041 (3) Å].     

Synthesis,Structures, and Photophysics of Polynuclear Silver(I) Thiolate and Silver(I) Thiocarboxylate Complexes with Dppm Ligands

Trinuclear silver(I) thiolate and silver(I) thiocarboxylate complexes [Ag₃(μ‐dppm)₃(μ_n‐SR)₂](ClO₄) [n = 2, R = C₆H₄Cl‐4 ( 1 ) and C{O}Ph ( 2 ); n = 3, R = tBu ( 3 )], pentanuclear silver(I) thiolate complex [Ag₅(μ‐dppm)₄(μ₃‐SC₆H₄NO₂‐4)₄](PF₆) ( 4 ), and hexanuclear silver(I) thiolate complexes [Ag₆(μ‐dppm)₄(μ₃‐SR)₄]Y₂ [Y = ClO₄, R =C₆H₄CH₃‐4 ( 5 ) and C₁₀H₇ (2‐naphthyl) ( 7 ); Y = PF₆, R = C₆H₄OCH₃‐4( 6 )], were synthesized [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane] and their crystal structures as well as photophysical properties were studied. In the solid state at 77 K, trinuclear silver(I) thiolate and silver(I) thiocarboxylate complexes 1 and 2 exhibit luminescence at 470–523 nm, tentatively attributed to originate from the ³IL (intraligand) of thiolate or thiocarboxylate ligands, whereas hexanuclaer silver(I) thiolate complexes 5 and 7 produce dual emission, in which high‐energy emission is tentatively attributed to come from the ³IL of thiolate ligands and low‐energy emission is tentatively assigned to come from the admixture of metal ··· metal bond‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MMLCT) and metal‐centered (MC) excited states.     

Chair‐ and Boat‐Configurations of Silver(I) Complexes of Ditopic Ligand Involving Benzimidazolyl Substituents

The ditopic ligand 1, 2‐bis(benzimidazol‐1‐ylmethyl)benzene (L¹) as well as its silver(I) complexes [Ag₂L¹₂(CF₃CO₂)₂] ( 1 ) and [Ag₂L¹₂](CF₃SO₃)₂ · (L¹) · 2H₂O · 0.5C₂H₅OH ( 2 ) were prepared and structures characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The Ag^I atoms in 1 are trigonally coordinated by two N_BIm atoms from the arms of L¹ and by one O atom of the anion CF₃CO₂^—, while those in 2 are only linearly ligated by N_BIm. Different silver salts of CF₃CO₂^— and CF₃SO₃^— lead to different configurations of the dimeric unit [Ag₂L¹₂]²⁺: chair‐form in ( 1 ) but boat‐form in ( 2 ). The discrete molecules in both 1 and 2 are assembled into network structures through face‐to‐face π · · · π stacking and edge‐to‐face C—H · · · π interactions in the crystalline state, as well as N—H · · · O and C—H · · · O hydrogen bonds. Solution ¹H NMR studies showed the formation of one sole species in solution or a rapid equilibrium was established on the NMR time scale at room temperature.     

Anion Effects on the Formation of Silver(I) Complexes with the Flexible Ligand 4,4′‐Bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐ylmethyl)biphenyl

The reaction of 4,4′‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐ylmethyl)biphenyl (btmb) with silver(I) salts of BF₄^–, NO₃^– and N₃^– led to the formation of four new silver(I) coordination polymers {[Ag(btmb)]BF₄}_n ( 1 ), {[Ag₂(btmb)₃](NO₃)₂(H₂O)₅}_n ( 2 ), [Ag₂(btmb)(N₃)₂]_n ( 3 ), and [Ag(btmb)(N₃)]_n ( 4 ). Their coordination number varies from 2 (in 1 ) to 3 (in 2 ), 4 (in 3 ), and 5 (in 4 ). Different from the single chain structure of 1 , complex 2 displays a 1D ladder‐like double chain framework, whereas complex 3 exhibits a 2D layered architecture. Complex 4 has the same anion as complex 3 but shows a different metal‐to‐ligand ratio and a 1D double‐zigzag chain structure. Both 3 and 4 have Ag ··· Ag argentophilic interactions. The ligand btmb adopts both cis or trans configuration in the studied complexes. A trans‐ or cis‐btmb ligand link silver ions with Ag ··· Ag distances of ≈?18 and 13 Å, respectively. BF₄^– and NO₃^– are non‐coordinating anions in 1 and 2 . N₃^– is the bridging anion in 3 (1,3‐bridging fashion) and 4 (1,1‐bridging fashion). These findings suggest that the coordination numbers around the Ag^I ion correlate to the coordination abilities of anions and the btmb to silver ratio. In addition, the influence of anions on thermal stability were also investigated. This work is a good example that nicely supports the less explored field of anion‐dependent structures of complexes with non‐pyridyl ligands.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Photoluminescence Properties of Silver(I) Metal‐Organic Polymers with Nanochannels Based on 2‐Sulfoterephthalic Acid and Di(pyridin‐2‐yl)amine Ligands

Two new silver(I) 3D coordination polymers, namely [Ag₃(2‐stp)(dpa)]_n ( 1 ) and {[Ag₂(2‐stp)(H₂O)]?Hdpa}_n ( 2 ) (2‐NaH₂stp=sodium 2,5‐dicarboxysulfonate, dpa=di(pyridine‐2‐yl)amine) were synthesized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR spectra, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In complex 1 , three neighboring Ag ions are bridged by N‐ and O‐atom, forming a 3D coordination network. The molecular structure of 2 is cation? anion species, forming 3D host? guest supramolecular network with the [Hdpa]⁺ cations encapsulated in the nanochannels. The photoluminescence properties of the complexes were also investigated in the solid state at room temperature.     

catena‐Poly­[[di‐μ‐benzoato‐κ4O:O′‐disilver(I)]‐μ‐N,N′‐bis(2‐fluoro­benzyl­idene)­butane‐1,4‐di­amine‐κ2N:N′]

The title complex, [Ag₂(C₇H₅O₂)₂(C₁₈H₁₈F₂N₂)]_n, is a dinuclear silver(I) compound with one inversion centre between pairs of Ag atoms and another at the mid‐point of the central C—C bond in the butane‐1,4‐diamine moiety. Each of the smallest repeat units consists of two silver(I) cations, two benzoate anions and one N,N′‐bis(2‐fluorobenzyl­idene)­butane‐1,4‐di­amine Schiff base ligand. Each Ag^I ion is three‐coordinated in a trigonal configuration by two O atoms from two benzoate anions and one N atom from a Schiff base ligand. The di‐μ‐benzoato‐disilver(I) moieties are linked by the bridging Schiff base ligand, giving zigzag polymeric chains with an [–Ag⋯Ag—N—C—C—C—C—N–]_n backbone running along the b axis.     

General Assembly of Twisted Trigonal‐Prismatic Nonanuclear Silver(I) Clusters

A general class of C₃‐symmetric Ag₉ clusters, [Ag₉S(tBuC₆H₄S)₆(dpph)₃(CF₃SO₃)] ( 1 ), [Ag₉(tBuC₆H₄S)₆(dpph)₃(CF₃SO₃)₂] ? CF₃SO₃ ( 2 ), [Ag₉(tBuC₆H₄S)₆(dpph)₃(NO₃)₂] ? NO₃ ( 3 ), and [Ag₉(tBuC₆H₄S)₇(dpph)₃(Mo₂O₇)_0.5]₂ ? 2 CF₃COO ( 4 ) (dpph=1,6‐bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane), with a twisted trigonal‐prism geometry was isolated by the reaction of polymeric {(HNEt₃)₂[Ag₁₀(tBuC₆H₄S)₁₂]}_n, 1,6‐bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane, and various silver salts under solvothermal conditions. The structures consist of discrete clusters constructed from a girdling Ag₉ twisted trigonal prism with the top and bottom trigonal faces capped by diverse anions (i.e., S^2? and CF₃SO₃^? for compound 1 , 2×CF₃SO₃^? for compound 2 , 2×NO₃^? for compound 3 , and tBuC₆H₄S^? and Mo₂O₇^2? for compound 4 ). This trigonal prism is bisected by another shrunken Ag₃ trigon at its waist position. Interestingly, two inversion‐related Ag₉ trigonal‐prismatic clusters are dimerized by the Mo₂O₇^2? ion in compound 4 . The twist is amplified by the bulkier thiolate, which also introduces high steric‐hindrance for the capping ligand, that is, the longer dpph ligand. Four more silver–sulfur clusters (namely, compounds 5 – 8 ) with their nuclearity ranging from 6–10 were solely characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction to verify the above‐described synergetic effect of mixed ligands in the construction of Ag₉ twisted trigonal prisms. Surprisingly, only cluster 1 emits yellow luminescence at λ=584 nm at room temperature, which may be attributed to a charge transfer from the S 3p orbital to the Ag 5s orbital, or mixed with metal‐centered (MC) d¹⁰→d⁹s¹ transitions. Upon cooling from 300 to 80 K, the emission intensity was enhanced along with a hypsochromic shift. The good linear relationship between the maximum emission intensity and the temperature for compound 1 in the range of 180–300 K indicates that this is a promising molecular luminescent thermometer. Furthermore, cyclic voltammetric studies indicated that the diffusion‐ and surface‐controlled redox processes were determined for compounds 1 and 3 as well as compound 4 , respectively.     

One‐Dimensional Polymers Based on Silver(I) Cations and Organometallic cyclo‐P3 Ligand Complexes

The synthesis and characterization of the first supramolecular aggregates incorporating the organometallic cyclo‐P₃ ligand complexes [Cp^RMo(CO)₂(η³‐P₃)] (Cp^R=Cp (C₅H₅; 1a ), Cp* (C₅(CH₃)₅; 1b )) as linking units is described. The reaction of the Cp derivative 1a with AgX (X=CF₃SO₃, Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄) yields the one‐dimensional (1D) coordination polymers [Ag{CpMo(CO)₂(μ,η³:η¹:η¹‐P₃)}₂]_n[Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄]_n ( 2 ) and [Ag{CpMo(CO)₂(μ,η³:η¹:η¹‐P₃)}₃]_n[X]_n (X=CF₃SO₃ ( 3a ), Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄ ( 3b )). The solid‐state structures of these polymers were revealed by X‐ray crystallography and shown to comprise polycationic chains well‐separated from the weakly coordinating anions. If AgCF₃SO₃ is used, polymer 3a is obtained regardless of reactant stoichiometry whereas in the case of Ag[Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄], reactant stoichiometry plays a decisive role in determining the structure and composition of the resulting product. Moreover, polymers 3a, b are the first examples of homoleptic silver complexes in which Ag^I centers are found octahedrally coordinated to six phosphorus atoms. The Cp* derivative 1b reacts with Ag[Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄] to yield the 1D polymer [Ag{Cp*Mo(CO)₂(μ,η³:η²:η¹‐P₃)}₂]_n[Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄]_n ( 4 ), the crystal structure of which differs from that of polymer 2 in the coordination mode of the cyclo‐P₃ ligands: in 2 , the Ag⁺ cations are bridged by the cyclo‐P₃ ligands in a η¹:η¹ (edge bridging) fashion whereas in 4 , they are bridged exclusively in a η²:η¹ mode (face bridging). Thus, one third of the phosphorus atoms in 2 are not coordinated to silver while in 4 , all phosphorus atoms are engaged in coordination with silver. Comprehensive spectroscopic and analytical measurements revealed that the polymers 2 , 3a , b , and 4 depolymerize extensively upon dissolution and display dynamic behavior in solution, as evidenced in particular by variable temperature ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. Solid‐state ³¹P magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR measurements, performed on the polymers 2 , 3b , and 4 , demonstrated that the polymers 2 and 3b also display dynamic behavior in the solid state at room temperature. The X‐ray crystallographic characterisation of 1b is also reported.     

A Novel Silver（Ⅰ）σ -Complex Supramolecular Polymer： [Ag2（o-HOPhCO2）2]n

The hydrothermal reactions of sodium o‐hydroxybenzoate with AgNO₃ yield a novel stable Ag(I) s?‐complex supramolecular polymer, [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂]_n. The structure of [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂] was solved by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. It is monoclinic with space group P2Jc and unit cell parameters a=0.7394(2) nm, b= 0.8822(2) nm, c=1.0662(2) nm, β= 107.66(3)°, Z=4. The silver(I) atom is two‐coordinated by two carboxylic oxygen atoms of two o‐hydroxybenzoate ligands, and meanwhile, forms supramolecular interaction with one carbon atom of phenyl‐ring in the third o‐hydroxybenzoate group. The a‐form Ag…C supramolecular bond bridges [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂] units into an infinite 2D layered polymer [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂]_n. The coordination sphere of the silver atom is best described as a distorted T‐shaped geometry.
