Crystal structure of catena-(μ2-4,4´-bipyridine)sil ver(I)hydrogen-bis-(5- nitro-1,2-carboxybenzene-3-carboxylato)tetrahydrate, [Ag(C10H8N2)]·(C18H9O16N2)·4H2O, C28H25AgN4O20

Abstract

C 28 H 25 AgN 4 O 20 ,triclinic, P1 (no. 2), a =8.3973(9) Å, b =9.519(1) Å, c =11. Source of materialAm ixture of AgNO 3 (17.0 mg, 0.1 mmol), bipy (17.9 mg, 0.1 mmol), 5-nitro-1,2,3-benzenecarboxylic acid (H 3 nbtc) (25.2 mg, 0.1 mmol), KOH (11.2 mg, 0.2 mmol) in H 2 O(12 mL)was sealed into a25mLstainless steelreactor with ateflon liner andheated at 443Kf or 3d ays. Ther eactor was then cooled slowly to room temperature and the solution filtered. Colourless block-shaped crystals were obtained from the filtrate after several daysatroom temperature. DiscussionThe design and construction of metal-organic coordination polymers has been shown to be apromising field, not only because of their potential applications as functional solid materials in ion exchange,catalysis,luminescence, magnets, nonlinear optics, and gass eparation/storage [1][2][3][4][5][6]
