A novel silver(І) coordination polymer based on mixed ligands bpp and 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylate

Abstract: A novel coordination polymer based on silver(І) and mixed ligands {[Ag2(bpdc)(bpp)(H2O)]·2H2O} n (1) (H2bpdc=2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid, bpp=1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane), has been prepared by hydrothermal method. Compound 1 has a 2D polymeric structure extended with subunits tetranuclear silver with Schläfli symbol {3^12;4^9;5^6;6^9}{3^18;4^22;5^5}. Compound 1 represents an Ag-containing polymeric compound possessing room-temperature luminescence. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
