Synthesis and structure of a co-ordination polymer based on silver(I) triangles linked by isonicotinate anions

Abstract

Reaction of AgBF₄ with isonicotinic acid (NC₅H₄CO₂H-4) led to the formation of an unusual polymeric structure consisting of Ag₃ triangles linked together by two isonicotinate ligands: this co-ordination polymer, containing both bridged and unbridged short Ag  · · ·  Ag contacts has been characterised crystallographically.
