Four New Ag(I) Coordination Polymers: Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Thermal Stability

Pre-organisation of ligand donor sets modulates the supramolecular structure of bis(pyridyl–imine) silver(i) chelates

Ligands comprising o-, m- or p-phenylenediamine coupled to pyridine-2-carbaldehyde were coordinated to silver(i). By controlling the positions of the ligand donor sets, the supramolecular structure of the coordination compounds was manipulated.

Inverted molecular cups: 1-D and 2-D Ag(i) coordination polymers from resorcinarene bis-thiacrowns

Exo-cavity binding into resorcinarene based inverted molecular cups creates 1-D and 2-D silver coordination polymers with argentophilic interactions.
