Control of molecular architecture by steric and electronic factors: dinuclear side-by-side vs. tetranuclear [2 x 2] grid-type silver(I) complexes.
Silver(I) complexes of the two closely related linear bis-bidentate pyridazine-based Schiff-base ligands 5 and 6 exhibit very different solid state molecular architectures, easily deformed grid vs. side-by-side, due to steric and electronic factors.
