Highly pyramidalised heteroaromatic nitrogens in discrete multinuclear silver(i) complexes assembled from bis- and tris-(diallylamino)azines†
Abstract
2,4-Bis(diallylamino)-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine reacts with silver(I) perchlorate and triflate to form discrete M4L2 assemblies in which the ligand uses all seven available (allyl and triazine) donors. 2,4,6-Tris(diallylamino)pyrimidine forms a discrete M2L complex with silver triflate, in which the ligand is hypodentate. 2,4,6-Tris(diallylamino)-1,3,5-triazine forms a 1-D coordination polymer with silver perchlorate using seven donor groups, but employs all nine donors to form a discrete M3L complex with silver triflate. In all these structures the nitrogen donors show unusually high levels of pyramidalisation.
