Phyllo-poly[[μ(2)-1,4-bis-(cyclo-hexyl-sulfanylmeth-yl)benzene-κS:S'](μ(2)-nitrato-κO:O')silver(I)]
Abstract:
The title compound, [Ag(NO(3))(C(20)H(30)S(2))](n), was synthesized by the reaction of silver nitrate and 1,4-bis-(cyclo-hexyl-thio-meth-yl)benzene (bctmb) in acetonitrile. The coordination polymer exhibits a two-dimensional layer structure. The layers are wave-like and parallel to the crystallographic ac plane; Ag(I) ions are linked by the bctmb ligands and nitrate anions along the crystallographic a and c directions, respectively. In addition, the crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
