[Ag(2)(C(33)H(26)N(2)O(2))(H(2)O)(2)(SO(3)CF(3))(2)].0.5C(6)H(6): a luminescent supramolecular silver(I) complex based on metal-carbon and metal-heteroatom interactions.
A novel fulvene-type bidentate ligand 1 has been synthesized by an aroylation reaction of cyclohexyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl anions. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P(-)1, with a = 7.0419(5) A, b = 11.9360(8) A, c = 15.6470(11) A, alpha = 85.1440(10) degrees, beta = 78.1140(10) degrees, gamma = 74.5360(10) degrees, V = 1239.76(15) A(3), and Z = 2. The coordination chemistry of 1 was investigated, and a novel Ag-containing coordination polymer (2), linked by both Ag-heteroatom and Ag-carbon interactions, has been synthesized. The coordination polymer has been fully characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P(-)1, with a = 7.1654(5) A, b = 15.7277(11) A, c = 18.8157(13) A, alpha = 73.5150(10) degrees, beta = 89.0410(10) degrees, gamma = 89.0970(10) degrees, V = 1355.19(14) A(3), and Z = 2. The solid-state structure of 2 features a one-dimensional double-chain motif. These double chains are in turn cross-linked to each other via strong interchain O-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a novel two-dimensional network with remarkably large cavities (effective cross section of ca. 21 x 15 A) that are occupied by benzene guest molecules. Both compounds 1 and 2 are luminescent in the solid state, and a large blue-shift in the emission between the free ligand 1 and the ligand incorporated into complex 2 is observed.
