Supramolecular Assembly of Ag(I) Centers: Diverse Topologies Directed by Anionic Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Ag(I)-Ag(I) interactions in supramolecular structures have been achieved through the use of structural support from the ligand frames. In structures involving simple ligands like pyridine, strong π-π interaction leads to spatial ordering of the individual [Ag(L)₂]⁺ units. In such structures anions also play a crucial role in dictating the final arrangement of the [Ag(L)₂]⁺ synthons. In order to determine whether the anions can solely dictate the arrangement of the [Ag(L)₂]⁺ synthons in the supramolecular structure, four Ag(I) complexes of 4-pyridylcarbinol (PyOH), namely, [Ag(PyOH)₂]X (X = NO₃^- (1), BF₄^- (2), CF₃SO₃^- (3</
