Abstract:
Metal-metal bonds between metal cations are ubiquitous in coordination complexes, whereas similar bonding characteristics between non-metal and metal cations are not. Here, we report an X-ray crystal structure of a centrosymmetric complex [Ag(m-O3SCF3)2{(4MePyNO)2I}]2 (1-AgI), where the iodine(I) cation forms an unusual 3-centre 4-electron [O-I-O]+ halogen bond with two oxygen atoms from two 4-methylpyridine N-oxide (4MePyNO). The iodine(I) atoms from two [4MePyNO-I-ONPyMe4]+ cations, which, together with the two silver(I) atoms from the paddlewheel [Ag(m-O3SCF3)2]22- structure, establish two unique I+-Ag+ bonds at 2.863(2) Å. This bond length is characteristic of bimetallic coordination bonds such as Au+-Ag+ [2.8553(6) Å], Cu+-Ag+ [2.8616(9) Å], and Pt2+-Ag+ [2.8602(4) Å]. Density Functional Theory calculations unambiguously support the existence of the I+-Ag+ coordination bond between non-metal and metal cations in complex 1-AgI.

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...
