Abstract:
A 2D Wells-Dawson-based silver(I) coordination polymer was achieved based on silver-Schiff base building blocks and [P(2)Mo(18)O(62)](6-) clusters using AgNO(3), N,N'-bis(furan-2-ylmethylene)hydrazine and Keggin [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) as original materials at room temperature. It is structurally characterized by IR spectroscopy, (31)P NMR, XRPD, thermogravimetric (TG) analyses and X-ray crystallography. The structure of 1 exhibits a novel crystalline 2D coordination polymer constructed by the coordination interaction between the Wells-Dawson polyoxoanion [P(2)Mo(18)O(62)](6-) and Ag-L species. The luminescent property of 1 in the solid state is investigated.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
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...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
