Three novel silver(I) metal−organic coordination polymers constructed from 1,2,3,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid with different deprotonation degrees, namely, [Ag 2 (H 2 btec)(H 2 O)] (1), [Ag 3 (Hbtec)] (2), and [Ag 4 (btec)](3) (H 4 btec = 1,2,3,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid), have been synthesized with hydrothermal methods and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ag(I) atoms show versatile coordination sphere in the three different complexes and great supramolecular structure difference demonstrated due to the coordination modes change of the H 4 btec ligands. Ag(I) dimers bridged by H 2 btec 2− ligands into a three-dimensional framework was observed in complex 1. An unprecedented talon-like Ag(I) hexamer unit was obtained in complex 2, which acts as a building unit that connects with Hbtec 3− into (5,10)-connected MoGe 2 -type framework. A one-dimensional Ag(I) chain built with Ag(I) tetramer units was demonstrated in complex 3, and each btec 4− ligand bridges six such chains into a three-dimensional framework. However, the weaker argentophilic interactions bridge the talon-like hexamers into a bead-like Ag(I) chain in complex 2, while such weak interactions bridge the zigzag Ag(I) chains into a two-dimensional Ag(I) sheet in complex 3. Photoluminescence, and antibacterial activities of complexes 1−3 were also examined.
