A two‐dimensional undulating AgI coordination polymer constructed of Ag—C and Ag—O bonds: poly[[[μ3‐(5,6‐η):κO2:κO2‐(±)‐(1S,2S,3R,4R)‐3‐carboxy‐7‐oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept‐5‐ene‐2‐carboxylato]silver(I)] monohydrate]

The title coordination polymer, {Ag(C₈H₇O₅)]·H₂O}_n, is built from Ag⁺ cations and singly protonated dehydronorcantharidin (SP‐DNC) anions, with a distorted trigonal‐planar geometry at the metal centre. The coordination number of Ag^I is three (with one Ag—π bond and two Ag—O bonds, one from each of three different SP‐DNC ligands), if only formal Ag–ligand bonds are considered, but can be regarded as five if longer weak Ag...O interactions are also included. The two‐dimensional corrugated‐sheet coordination polymer forms a non‐interpenetrating framework with (4.8²) topology. Disordered water molecules are sandwiched between the sheets.
