Anion-controlled formation of two silver lamella frameworks based on in situ ligand reaction†
Abstract
Two 2D silver lamella frameworks, [Ag4(C5H4NS)2(NO3)2]n (1) and [Ag3(C5H4NS)2]n·nClO4 (2) based on binuclear units have been solvothermally synthesized. The C5H4NS ligand was in situ generated from the cleavage of bis(2,4,6-trimethyl-3,5-bis((pyridin-2-ylthio)methyl)phenyl)methane (bmpm). Furthermore, the formation of 1 and 2 was also controlled by anions involved in the reaction. Short Ag–Ag interactions were also found in 1 and 2.
