A novel three‐dimensional AgI coordination polymer based on mixed naphthalene‐1,5‐disulfonate and aminoacetate ligands

The three‐dimensional coordination polymer poly[[bis(μ₃‐2‐aminoacetato)di‐μ‐aqua‐μ₃‐(naphthalene‐1,5‐disulfonato)‐hexasilver(I)] dihydrate], {[Ag₆(C₁₀H₆O₆S₂)(C₂H₄NO₂)₄(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}_n, based on mixed naphthalene‐1,5‐disulfonate (L1) and 2‐aminoacetate (L2) ligands, contains two Ag^I centres (Ag1 and Ag4) in general positions, and another two (Ag2 and Ag3) on inversion centres. Ag1 is five‐coordinated by three O atoms from one L1 anion, one L2 anion and one water molecule, one N atom from one L2 anion and one Ag^I cation in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry. Ag2 is surrounded by four O atoms from two L2 anions and two water molecules, and two Ag^I cations in a slightly octahedral coordination geometry. Ag3 is four‐coordinated by two O atoms from two L2 anions and two Ag^I cations in a slightly distorted square geometry, while Ag4 is also four‐coordinated by two O atoms from one L1 and one L2 ligand, one N atom from another L2 anion, and one Ag^I cation, exhibiting a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, there are two one‐dimensional chains nearly perpendicular to one another (interchain angle = 87.0°). The chains are connected by water molecules to give a two‐dimensional layer, and the layers are further bridged by L1 anions to generate a novel three‐dimensional framework. Moreover, hydrogen‐bonding interactions consolidate the network.
