Abstract: A novel Ag(Ⅰ) complex based on 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) and biphenyl-2,2′,4,4′-tetracarboxylic acid (H4btc), namely, {[Ag(4,4′-bpy)][Ag2(H3btc)(H2btc)(4,4′-bpy)2]·3H2O}n(1) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P1 with a=1.122 51(6) nm, b=1.554 01(8) nm, c=1.774 59(9) nm, β=91.641 0(10)°, V=2.830 8(3) nm3, Z=2, Dc=1.764 g·cm-3, μ=1.113 mm-1, F(000)=1 508, and the final R1=0.045 0, wR2=0.086 2 for I>2σ(I). In complex 1, 1D linear [Ag(4,4′-bpy)]+ chains reside in 3D supramolecular structure of 1D {[Ag2(H3btc)(H2btc)(4,4′-bpy)2]- double-chains and dissociative water molecules assembled into by hydrogen bonds. In additional, thermal stability and electrochemistry of 1 have also been studied. CCDC: 840549. |
