| Abstract: | The different coordination behavior of the ligand tBuN=Te(μ-NtBu)2Te=NtBu (L) towards Cu+ and Ag+ results from a cis→trans isomerization. The two Cu+ ions in Cu2L3]2+ (shown schematically) bridge trans and cis isomers of the ligand, whereas the Ag+ ions in Ag2L2]2+ link two trans ligands and exhibit a weak Ag???Ag interaction. |
