Ag(I) Complexes Containing N-Phenyl-N′-cyano-formamidine: Syntheses, Structures, and Ligand Conformations
文摘
The reactions of the unsymmetrical ligand N-phenyl-N′-cyano-formamidine (L) with AgX (X = NO3−, SO3CF3−, and BF4−) afforded the complexes [AgL3NO3] (1), [AgLSO3CF3]∞ (2) and [AgLBF4]∞ (3), whereas the reactions of L with AgClO4 in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature and at refluxing temperature afforded two supramolecular isomers of [AgLClO4]∞, (4) and (5), respectively. These complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography, which confirmed that complexes 2−5 are coordination polymers. Complex 1 is a triangular planar molecule with three L’s coordinating to the Ag(I) metal center through the cyano nitrogen atoms. While the cations of complexes 2−4 form one-dimensional zigzag chains, those of 5 show helical chains that are interlinked through η3 π-donor behavior of the unsymmetrical ligand L to form two-dimensional polymeric sheets. The L ligands in complex 1 adopt the syn conformation, and those in 2–5 adopt the anti conformation.
