Exploring Structure–Property Relationships of Silver 4‐(Phenylethynyl)pyridine Complexes

“…However, the sterically less restrictive size of pyridine, coupled with a lower affinity for interdigitation and π–π stacking interactions, gives rise to a number of other silver coordination geometries, including tetrahedral and heteroleptic complexes with T‐shaped Ag(py) 3 metal nodes. [29b] The preference for thiocyanate to disrupt the [Ag(py) 2 ] + motif in favour of polymeric [Ag(py)(SCN)] 2D sheets has also been observed using pyridine as the ligand . The higher affinity for metallophilic interactions in gold complexes contributed heavily to 1D‐chain formation in the solid‐state structures featuring analogous linear [Au(py) 2 ] + complexes .…”

“…Comparing this work with known examples of silver–pyridine complexes identified a decline in the variability of observed motifs upon increasing the ligand length. Several silver–pyridine structures do adopt a linear [Ag(py) 2 ] + complex, particularly when paired with non‐coordinating anions, or a rigid polymeric component of the structure . However, the sterically less restrictive size of pyridine, coupled with a lower affinity for interdigitation and π–π stacking interactions, gives rise to a number of other silver coordination geometries, including tetrahedral and heteroleptic complexes with T‐shaped Ag(py) 3 metal nodes.…”

A Series of Open‐Framework Aluminoborates Templated by Transition‐Metal Complexes

“…[3,25] The B 5 O 9 F 4À unit (n = 1) reported recently by our group acts as three 3-connected nodes to give rise to a 2D layer. [20] The B 5 O 10 5À unit (n = 0) as tetradentate bridging ligand coordinates to four metal centers, thereby generating a 3D open framework.…”

Synthesis and structure of [C6N4H20]0.5[B5O6(OH)4]: A new organically templated pentaborate with white-light-emission

“…It is known that multipoint hydrogen bond interactions play an important role in the formation and stability of low-dimensional structures [43][44][45]. As expected to be a common fundamental building block (FBB) for supramolecular hydrogen bonded structure, the polyanion [B 5 O 6 (OH) 4 ] À is connected with each other to form three-dimensional (3D) hydrogen-bonded architecture by -OH groups oriented in a planar triangular fashion in many pentaborates [46][47][48]. The common 3D hydrogen-bonded architecture is a unidirectional rectangle-like borate anion host lattice with 12-membered boron rings channels as shown in Fig.…”
