title: Ring-opening polymerisation of coordination compounds: a silver(I) network with both ring and polymer components.
abstract: The terpyridyl ligand 2,6-C5H3N{C(=O)N(Me)-4-C5H4N}2, 1, combined with silver(I) salts to give the complexes [Ag2(1)2][BF4]2, 2, and [{Ag3(1)2}n][CF3SO3]3n, 3; the network structure of complex contains both macrocyclic units [Ag2(mu-1)2]2+ and ring-opened polymeric units [{Ag(mu-1)}n]n+.
