title: Coordination polymers with 4,4'-bipyrimidine. Using a combination of endo- and exodentate donors to build a one-dimensional Ag(I) ladder and a heterometallic Co(II)Ag(I)2 network.
abstract: The ligand 4,4'-bipyrimidine combines a chelating bipyridine group and two terminal donor atoms into a single molecule; chelation to a single Ag(I) centre forms a square planar complex which can then form an extended planar ladder-type polymer by linking through linear Ag(I) centres whereas bis-coordination to an octahedral Co(II) centre yields a building block with four external donor nitrogen atoms which can coordinate to two distinct Ag(I) ions to form a heterometallic 2D net.
