Silver⋯X–aryl (X = I and Br) interaction in a network assembly with a flexible polynuclear silver–ethynide supramolecular synthon†‡
Abstract
In a series of five new silver(I) ethynide complexes, the invariable appearance of the μ4 and μ5 ligation modes of the ethynide moiety affirms the general utility of the supramolecular synthon p-X–C6H5OCH2C≡C⊃Agn (X = I, Br; n = 4, 5) in the assembly of coordination networks, in which the silver⋯halogen–aryl interaction plays an important role.
