Poly[[{μ3-tris[2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)ethyl]amine}silver(I)] hexafluoridophosphate]

Abstract

The title compound, {[Ag(L)]PF6)n {L is tris[2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)ethyl]amine, C30H30N10}, consists of alternating two-dimensional cationic layers of [Ag(L)]+ and anionic PF6− layers. Each AgI atom is three coordinated in a T-shaped geometry by three N atoms from three ligands. Each ligand links three AgI atoms, generating a two-dimensional network structure with two different metallacycles, A and B. In A, eight coordination units from four ligands connect four AgI atoms, forming a 48-membered ring. In B, four coordination units from two ligands link two AgI atoms, forming a 24-membered ring. Each B ring is surrounded by four A rings, and each A ring has four A and four B rings as neighbours. This cationic layer thus generates a 4.82 topology network, with each AgI centre and ligand acting as a three-connected topological node.
