The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure of the tetranuclear silver(I) complex {[Ag2([18]aneS2O4)2]2}(PF6)4([18]aneS2O4= 1,4,7, 10-tetraoxa-13, 16-dithiacyclooctadecane)
Abstract
Reaction of AgNO3 with [18]aneS2O4([18]aneS2O4= 1,4,7,10-tetraoxa-13, 16-dithiacyclooctadecane) affords a 1 : 1 complex, the single-crystal X-ray structure of which confirms the formation of binuclear [Ag2([18]aneS2O4)2]2+ dications; these dications are linked in pairs by a long S ⋯ S interaction to give an overall tetranuclear structure.
