Pyrazine- and pyridine-based pi-conjugated sigma-donor molecules, such as 4,4'-bipyridine, 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene, 3,5-dipyridyl-1,2,4-triazole, N,N'-bis(4-pyridylmethylidene)benzene-1,4-diamine, 2,5-di(pyridylmethylidene)cyclopentanone, 2,6-di(4-pyridylmethylidene)cyclohexanone (LL, 2a-2g) can successfully be used to span heterobimetalfic pi-tweezer units of the type [[Ti](mu-sigma,piCequivalent toCSiMe(3))(2)}M](+) ([Ti] = (eta(5)-C5H4SiMe3)(2)Ti; M = Cu, Ag). The thus accessible di-cationic species [[Ti](mu-sigma,pi-Cequivalent toCSiMe(3))(2)} M-LL-M (Me(3)SiCequivalent toC-mu-sigma,pi)(2)[Ti]}](2+), (4), which are formed via the formation of [[Ti](mu-sigma,pi-Cequivalent toCSiMe(3))(2)}M-LL](+) (3) complexes, can be isolated in yields between 66% and 99%.However, when C5H4N-CH=CH-C6H4-CH=CH-NC5H4 (5a) and C5H4N-CH=N-C6H4-CH=CH-NC5H4 (5b), respectively, are reacted with [Ti](mu-sigma,pi-Cequivalent toCSiMe(3))(2)} AgBF4 (1c) in a 1: 1 molar ratio, then the silver(l) ion is released from the organometallic pi-tweezer 1c and coordination polymers [AgBF(4)(.)5a](n) (6a) and [AgBF(4)(.)5b](n) (6b) along with [Ti](Cequivalent toCSiMe(3))(2) (7) are formed in quantitative yield.
