The recent success of using methyltin

Synthesis and crystal structure of a 3D copper(II)–silver(I) coordination polymer assembled through hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking and metal–π interactions, {[Cu(phen)2(CN)][Ag(CN)2] · 3H2O} n (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline)

“…Transition metal cyanides such as [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3− [1][2][3][4][5][6], [Ni(CN) 4 ] 2− [7][8][9][10][11], [Au(CN) 2 ] − [12][13][14][15][16][17], and [Ag(CN) 2 ] − [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] are widely used as building blocks for the preparation of supramolecular coordination systems. The rigidity of such frameworks may allow shape and size selective inclusion of organic solvents, water molecules, and aromatic compounds for potential applications in the area of catalysis [1,12,29,30].…”

“…The rigidity of such frameworks may allow shape and size selective inclusion of organic solvents, water molecules, and aromatic compounds for potential applications in the area of catalysis [1,12,29,30]. Among the cyanidometalates, [Ag(CN) 2 ] − is particularly interesting because the resulting coordination polymers are usually supported by Ag-Ag (argentophilic) interactions [18,[27][28][29].…”

Polymorphs and solid solutions: materials with new luminescent properties obtained through mechanochemical transformation of dicyanoaurate(i) salts

“…, is produced in large amounts through some of the industrial gold extraction procedures, 28 and provides access to readily tuneable inorganic and supramolecular Au(I) materials. 29,30 Systems based on Au(CN) 2 À are known to exhibit notable luminescence properties, including concentration-and temperature-dependent emission in solution and in the solid state. 31,32 The rigid, linear structure makes Au(CN) 2 À of interest as a building block in crystal engineering.…”
