Poly[(μ3-quinoline-6-carboxylato-κ3N:O:O′)silver(I)]

Abstract

In the title coordination polymer, [Ag(C10H6NO2)]n, the AgI cation is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from three 6-quinolinecarboxylate anions in a distorted T-shaped AgNO2 geometry, in which the O—Ag—O angle is 160.44 (9)°. The 6-quinolinecarboxylate anion bridges three Ag+ cations, forming a nearly planar polymeric sheet parallel to (101). The distance between Ag+ cations bridged by the carboxyl group is 2.9200 (5) Å. In the crystal, π–π stacking is observed between parallel quinoline ring systems, the centroid–centroid distance being 3.7735 (16) Å.
