Abstract:A new silver(I) coordination polymer, [Ag(Hcpa)] n (1), was synthesized using a flexible asymmetric biscarboxylate ligand, (4-carboxymethoxy-phenyl)-acetic acid (H 2 cpa), and Ag(NO 3 ). The acetate group is monodentate and links a Ag(I)-atom. The oxyacatate group is tetradentate and connects three Ag(I)-atoms. Each Hcpa ligand exhibits a novel pentadentate coordination mode bridging four Ag(I) ions and is 4-connected. Each Ag(I) is coordinated by four Hcpa and extend to a novel (4,4)-connected two-dimensional… Show more
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.
