Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Three-dimensional Supramolecular Compound [（AgI3）（4-HBPFA）2（H2O）]

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, the rational design and synthesisof metal-directed supramolecular frameworks throughintermolecular hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking interac-tion or other weak interactions have received muchattention because of their interesting molecular topo-logies and various potential applications in catalysis,superconductor, magnetism, nonlinear optics, sen-sors and molecular recognition[1～4]. On the otherhand, the attachment of mono- or polypyridyl frag-ments to a ferr…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Three-dimensional Supramolecular Compound [(AgI3)(4-HBPFA)2(H2O)]

The supramolecular compound [(AgI3)(4-HBPFA)2(H2O)] (Mr = 1361.11) was synthesized via the reaction of 1,1(A)-bis[(4-pyridylamino)carbonyl]ferrocene (4-BPFA) with AgI, and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 1.6783(3), b = 10.646(2), c = 2.5419(5) (A), β = 93.66(3)o, V = 4532.2(16) (A)3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.995 g/cm3, F(000) = 2632 and μ = 3.158 mm-1.The compound consists of (4- HBPFA)+, (AgI3)2- and H2O.In the structure, the adjacent (4-HBPFA)+ are linked by C-H…O and N-H…N hydrogen bonds into 1-D chains which are further linked by C-H…I and N-H…I hydrogen bonds as well as intermolecular π-π stacking interactions to form a 3-D supramolecular compound.
