A novel three-dimensional AgIcoordination polymer based on mixed naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate and aminoacetate ligands

Abstract

The three-dimensional coordination polymer poly[[bis(μ3-2-aminoacetato)di-μ-aqua-μ3-(naphthalene-1,5-disulfonato)-hexasilver(I)] dihydrate], {[Ag6(C10H6O6S2)(C2H4NO2)4(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, based on mixed naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate (L1) and 2-aminoacetate (L2) ligands, contains two AgIcentres (Ag1 and Ag4) in general positions, and another two (Ag2 and Ag3) on inversion centres. Ag1 is five-coordinated by three O atoms from oneL1 anion, oneL2 anion and one water molecule, one N atom from oneL2 anion and one AgIcation in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry. Ag2 is surrounded by four O atoms from twoL2 anions and two water molecules, and two AgIcations in a slightly octahedral coordination geometry. Ag3 is four-coordinated by two O atoms from twoL2 anions and two AgIcations in a slightly distorted square geometry, while Ag4 is also four-coordinated by two O atoms from oneL1 and oneL2 ligand, one N atom from anotherL2 anion, and one AgIcation, exhibiting a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, there are two one-dimensional chains nearly perpendicular to one another (interchain angle = 87.0°). The chains are connected by water molecules to give a two-dimensional layer, and the layers are further bridged byL1 anions to generate a novel three-dimensional framework. Moreover, hydrogen-bonding interactions consolidate the network.
