The coordination preferences of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid, 4-NH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3}H{sub 2}, (p-arsanilic acid) with CdCl{sub 2}{center_dot}2.5H{sub 2}O, ZnCl{sub 2}, Ag(SO{sub 3}CF{sub 3}) and Pb(NO{sub 3}){sub 2} have been investigated affording five new metal arsonate polymers. The reaction between 4-aminophenylarsonic acid and CdCl{sub 2}{center_dot}2.5H{sub 2}O resulted in a one-dimensional polymer, [{l_brace}Cd(4-NH{sub 3}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3}H)(Cl){sub 2}{r_brace}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{sub n}, 1, in which the polymeric chain is propagated by bridging chlorides. Exchange of CdCl{sub 2} for ZnCl{sub 2} afforded [{l_brace}Zn{sub 2}(4-NH{sub 3}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3})(Cl){sub 2}{r_brace}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}(Cl)]{sub n}, 2, featuring interlinked 6- and 8-membered [Zn-O-As] ring systems. The reaction of Ag(SO{sub 3}CF{sub 3}) with 4-aminophenylarsonic acid, afforded polymeric 3, [Ag(4-NH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3}H)(4-NH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3}H{sub 2})]{sub n} where coordination of the amino group to the silver center is observed and [{l_brace}Ag{sub 2}(4-NH{sub 3}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3}H)(4-NH{sub 3}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3})({mu}2-SO{sub 3}CF{sub 3}){sub 2}{r_brace}(SO{sub 3}CF{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sub n}, 4. By comparison, the reaction of p-arsanilic acid with Pb(NO{sub 3}){sub 2} yielded a polymeric chain [Pb(4-NH{sub 3}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3}H)(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sub n}, 5 of similar topology to 1. The structures of 1-5 have been indiscriminately characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and their composition supported by relevant spectroscopic techniques. A comparison of the structural features of these polymers is used to determine the coordination preference of the ligand and factors influencing structural motifs, for example, the role of the anion. - Graphical abstract: The reaction of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid, 4-NH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 4}AsO{sub 3}H{sub 2}, with cadmium, zinc, silver, and lead have resulted in five new metal arsonate polymers that have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic means. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The synthesis of five novel metal arsonates with 4-aminophenyl arsonic acid. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed polymeric structures. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The luminescent properties of the metal arsonates were investigated.
