| Abstract: A complex, [Ag(1,2-bix)]·HL (1) (H2L=4,4′-azodibenzoic acid and 1,2-bix=1,2-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P1 with a=0.937 80(5) nm, b=1.119 91(16) nm, c=1.356 36(10) nm, α=102.923(8)°, β=91.751(5)°, γ=110.792(10)°, V=1.288 5(2) nm3, Z=2, C28H23AgN6O4, Mr=615.39, Dc=1.586 g·cm-3, F(000)=624, μ(Mo Kα)=0.829 mm-1, R=0.040 7 and wR=0.102 0. In this compound, the 1,2-bix ligands bridge the neighboring Ag(Ⅰ) atoms to generate a one-dimensional chain structure with the Ag…Ag separation of 1.356 4 nm. The neighboring HL ligands form another type of one-dimensional chain through O-H…O hydrogen bond. Interestingly, the two types of one-dimensional chains extend each other in vertical modes. In addition, the luminescent property of 1 has been studied in detail. CCDC: 836464. |
