Triangular and tetrahedral array of silver(I) ions by a novel disk-shaped tridentate ligand: dynamic control of coordination equilibrium of the silver(I) complexes.
A disk-shaped tridentate ligand 1 arranges silver(I) ions in a two-dimensional triangular and a three-dimensional tetrahedral fashion in the metal-ligand ratios, 3:2 and 1:1, respectively. The resulting sandwich-type (Ag312) and tetrahedral (Ag414) architectures are in a dynamic equilibrium in solution.
