Synthesis, Crystal Structures And Self-assembly Of Silver(Ⅰ) Complexes With Carboxylate And Organic Amines

The rational design and preparation of supramolecular coordination with novel structures and special functionalities is one of the hot topic in current crystal engineering. In this paper, a series of new organic amines have been used to synthesize the silver complexes. 17 complexes have been synthesized by the self-assembly with silver ions through the coordination combining with intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. All of them have been structurally characterized by elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The factors governing the framework formations of these complexes have been discussed. This paper includes four parts.1. The backgrounds and the current research status of silver complexes have been reviewed.2. 17 new Ag(I) complexes have been synthesized and structurally characterized. All of them have been determined by X-ray crystallography, and their self-assemblies into supramolecular networks have been discussed.3. By using the pyridine derivatives, we have successfully synthesized 13 new silver complexes with versatile supramolecular structures.4. By using the ethylenediamine and its derivatives, we have synthesized 4 new silver complexes. The coordination features of this kind of ligands are discussed.
