Title: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Luminescent Properties of Ag(I) Coordination Polymer with Tricarboxylic Acid and Flexible N-donor Ligand

Journal Article · · Crystallography Reports

The reaction of AgNO{sub 3} with combinations of 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H{sub 3}btc) in aqueous alcohol/ammonia at room temperature produces crystals of {[Ag_6(H_2O)_2(bpp)_6] · (btc)_2 · 25H_2O}{sub n} (Ι). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the complex Ι consists of 1D infinite cationic chains of [Ag(bpp)]{sub n}{sup n+} and [Ag(H{sub 2}O)(bpp)]{sub n}{sup n+} which are further linked into the cation layer of [Ag(bpp)]{sub n}{sup n+} by Ag···π interactions. The noncoordinated btc{sup 3−} serves as template driving surrounding water molecules to aggregate into the anionic water layer. The neighboring anionic water layer and cationic layer were further alternately joined into a 3D sandwich-like framework by hydrogen bonding. In addition, the luminescent properties of Ι were investigated.
