Five organic ligands of C 3v and C 2v symmetry, 3,5-bis(4-cyanophenylethynyl)cyanobenzene (1), 3,5-bis(4-cyanophenylethynyl)-4-methoxycyanobenzene (2), and 4,4′-dicyanobenzophenone (3), cyanotris(4-cyanophenyl)methane (4), and tris(4-cyanophenyl)methanol (5), have been prepared, crystallized with silver(I) salts, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray study. Crystallographic data are as follows: [Ag‚1‚CF 3 SO 3 ]‚2C 6 H 6 , triclinic, P1 h (no. 2), a ) 10.0864-(6) Å, b ) 13.6029(10) Å, c ) 13.8822(12) Å, R ) 108.743(6)°, ) 95.063(6)°, γ ) 95.484(5)°, °, Z ) 4. Τhe crystal structures are similar to those previously found for the T d and D 3h phenyl nitriles with Ag(I) salts and can be related to the diamond and graphite topologies. However, due to the intrinsic symmetry of C 3v and C 2v ligands, permanent molecular dipole moments are always present. The stacking sequences found in three graphite-like structures are in an antiparallel fashion so that the net dipole moments of the crystals are zero. Similarly, the diamond-like structure is composed of two interpenetrating diamondoid nets oriented in such a way that the net dipole moment of the two nets combined is zero.
