title: Chiral one- and two-dimensional silver(I)-biotin coordination polymers.
abstract: Reaction of biotin {C(10)H(16)N(2)O(3)S, HL; systematic name: 5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoic acid} with silver acetate and a few drops of aqueous ammonia leads to the deprotonation of the carboxylic acid group and the formation of a neutral chiral two-dimensional polymer network, poly[[{μ(3)-5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoato}silver(I)] trihydrate], {[Ag(C(10)H(15)N(2)O(3)S)]·3H(2)O}(n) or {[Ag(L)]·3H(2)O}(n), (I). Here, the Ag(I) cations are pentacoordinate, coordinated by four biotin anions via two S atoms and a ureido O atom, and by two carboxylate O atoms of the same molecule. The reaction of biotin with silver salts of potentially coordinating anions, viz. nitrate and perchlorate, leads to the formation of the chiral one-dimensional coordination polymers catena-poly[[bis[nitratosilver(I)]-bis{μ(3)-5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoato}] monohydrate], {[Ag(2)(NO(3))(2)(C(10)H(16)N(2)O(3)S)(2)]·H(2)O}(n) or {[Ag(2)(NO(3))(2)(HL)(2)]·H(2)O}(n), (II), and catena-poly[bis[perchloratosilver(I)]-bis{μ(3)-5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoato}], [Ag(2)(ClO(4))(2)(C(10)H(16)N(2)O(3)S)(2)](n) or [Ag(2)(ClO(4))(2)(HL)(2)](n), (III), respectively. In (II), the Ag(I) cations are again pentacoordinated by three biotin molecules via two S atoms and a ureido O atom, and by two O atoms of a nitrate anion. In (I), (II) and (III), the Ag(I) cations are bridged by an S atom and are coordinated by the ureido O atom and the O atoms of the anions. The reaction of biotin with silver salts of noncoordinating anions, viz. hexafluoridophosphate (PF(6)(-)) and hexafluoridoantimonate (SbF(6)(-)), gave the chiral double-stranded helical structures catena-poly[[silver(I)-bis{μ(2)-5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoato}] hexafluoridophosphate], {[Ag(C(10)H(16)N(2)O(3)S)(2)](PF(6))}(n) or {[Ag(HL)(2)](PF(6))}(n), (IV), and catena-poly[[[{5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoato}silver(I)]-μ(2)-{5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoato}] hexafluoridoantimonate], {[Ag(C(10)H(16)N(2)O(3)S)(2)](SbF(6))}(n) or {[Ag(HL)(2)](SbF(6))}(n), (V), respectively. In (IV), the Ag(I) cations have a tetrahedral coordination environment, coordinated by four biotin molecules via two S atoms, and by two carboxy O atoms of two different molecules. In (V), however, the Ag(I) cations have a trigonal coordination environment, coordinated by three biotin molecules via two S atoms and one carboxy O atom. In (IV) and (V), neither the ureido O atom nor the F atoms of the anion are involved in coordination. Hence, the coordination environment of the Ag(I) cations varies from AgS(2)O trigonal to AgS(2)O(2) tetrahedral to AgS(2)O(3) square-pyramidal. The conformation of the valeric acid side chain varies from extended to twisted and this, together with the various anions present, has an influence on the solid-state structures of the resulting compounds. The various O-H···O and N-H···O hydrogen bonds present result in the formation of chiral two- and three-dimensional networks, which are further stabilized by C-H···X (X = O, F, S) interactions, and by N-H···F interactions for (IV) and (V). Biotin itself has a twisted valeric acid side chain which is involved in an intramolecular C-H···S hydrogen bond. The tetrahydrothiophene ring has an envelope conformation with the S atom as the flap. It is displaced from the mean plane of the four C atoms (plane B) by 0.8789 (6) Å, towards the ureido ring (plane A). Planes A and B are inclined to one another by 58.89 (14)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via O-H···O and N-H···O hydrogen bonds, enclosing R(2)(2)(8) loops, forming zigzag chains propagating along [001]. These chains are linked via N-H···O hydrogen bonds, and C-H···S and C-H···O interactions forming a three-dimensional network. The absolute configurations of biotin and complexes (I), (II), (IV) and (V) were confirmed crystallographically by resonant scattering.
