Reaction of 4-aminopyridine with silver(I) perchlorate leads to a one-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Ag(C5H6N2)]ClO4}n, in which the aminopyridine binds through both N atoms. The perchlorate anion is hydrogen bonded to the amino H atoms and interacts weakly with the silver(I) atoms (Ag—O > 2.70 Å), both located on inversion centres, and some aromatic H atoms (O—H > 2.55 ÅA), thereby extending the dimensionality of the assembly. This is the first silver complex in which this ligand acts in a bridging mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
