Abstract

Self-assembly of silver(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate with the tripodal ligand tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (ntb) affords the trinuclear complex [Ag₃(ntb)₂](CF₃SO₃)₃, which exhibits a rhombohedral network formed from N–H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak Ag⋯O interactions linking [Ag₃(ntb)₂]³⁺ cations with a novel S₆-symmetric (CF₃SO₃⁻)₆ cluster consolidated by multiple F⋯F interactions.
