title: A two-dimensional silver-iodide organic network constructed from a unique [Ag6I6] hexagonal prism-based one-dimensional column motif.
abstract: A novel two-dimensional coordination polymer, poly[[μ2-1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propane]di-μ4-iodido-di-μ3-iodido-silver(I)], [Ag4I4(C11H16N4)]n, (I), has been synthesized by solvothermal reaction of AgNO3, KI and 1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propane (bmimp). In (I), the two unique Ag(I) cations have AgNI3 and AgI4 four-coordinated tetrahedral geometries. The bmimp ligand has imposed twofold symmetry. The Ag(I) cations and iodide anions form a unique one-dimensional polymeric column motif incorporating [Ag6I6] hexagonal prisms, which are then connected by bmimp ligands to form two-dimensional organic-inorganic layers. The layers are arranged in parallel in an ABAB fashion and are packed into the resultant three-dimensional supramolecular framework by van der Waals interactions.
