Abstract:
Reaction of AgPF(6) with the asymmetric ligand 1,6-dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxo-(3,4'-bipyridine)-5-carbonitrile (1), afforded a significant silver coordination polymer {[Ag(2)(1)(3)](2).(CH(3)OH)(3).(PF(6))(4)}(n) (2) with unique 1D twofold interpenetrating metal-organic frameworks constructed by 1D triple helical chains with nanosized cages hosting counterions as guests. This compound exhibits high thermal stability and blue-shift emission with large intensity enhancement compared with that of the free ligand.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
