The derivatized crown thioethers 3,6,9,12,15,18-hexathianonadecanol (19-aneS6-OH) and 3,6,9,13,16,19-hexathiacycloicosanol (20-aneS6-OH) are prepared by (1 + 1) cyclization and used as ligands for synthesizing silver(I) complexes. The silver complex cations (Ag(19-aneS6-OH))+ and (Ag(20-aneS6-OH))+ reside in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The complex cations have identical solution structures but different solid structures. Stability constants for the silver complexes in methanol are estimated.
