Formation of an organometallic coordination polymer from the reaction of silver(I) with a non-complimentary lariat ether

Abstract

The ‘Ag^I(15-crown-5)’ core moiety is a versatile supramolecular synthon, which is able to satisfy its coordination requirements using a variety of capping ligands; in the presence of the lariat ether N-allylaza-15-crown-5 an infinite organometallic coordination polymer is formed.
