Phenylsilver – an unexpected one-dimensional coordination polymer of silver(i) tetrads†
Abstract
Herein we present the structures of two distinct one-dimensional coordination polymers of phenylsilver. Both polymers consist of phenylsilver tetrads inter-connected via short silver–silver contacts (either one or two). The underlying mechanism for the formation by transmetalation was validated by synthesising an analogous fluorinated derivative of phenylsilver.
