Poly[[aqua-tris-(μ(3)-hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-mine-κN,N',N'')tris-(p-toluene-sulfonato-κO)tris-ilver(I)] trihydrate].

ABSTRACT: There are three Ag(I) cations, three p-toluene-sulfonate (pts) anions, three hexa-methyl-ene-tetra-mine (hmt) mol-ecules and four water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title coordination polymer, {[Ag(3)(C(7)H(7)O(3)S)(3)(C(6)H(12)N(4))(3)(H(2)O)]·3H(2)O}(n). Two of the pts anions show positional disorder of their O atoms in 0.60:0.40 and 0.50:0.50 ratios. The Ag(I) ion is coordinated by three hmt mol-ecules in an approximate trigonal-planar AgN(3) arrangement. In each case, longer Ag-O bonds to a water mol-ecule and a pts anion complete a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal AgN(3)O(2) geometry for the metal ion. In the crystal, the bridging hmt mol-ecules and pts ions generate a wave-like layer parallel to (001) and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions consolidate the packing.
