Abstract

Two Ag(I)-imidazolate compounds with distinct chain-like structures, namely, [Ag(dm-bim)]_n (1, dm-bim = 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole) and [Ag(m-bim)]_n (2, m-bim = 2-methylbenzimidazole), were synthesized and structurally characterized, respectively. Compound 1 with helical chains exhibited unique luminescence mechanochromism due to short Ag⋯Ag interactions (2.986 Å).
