Synthesis, characterization and DFT calculations of a novel hexanuclear silver(I) cluster-complex containing 4-ethyl-5-pyridin-2-yl-2,4-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazol-3-thione as a result from the cyclization of 2-pyridinformamide N-4-ethylthiosemicarbazone
摘要:
Reaction of 2-pyridine N-4 ethylthiosemicarbazone, HAm4E, with AgNO3 leads to the hexanuclear compound [Ag(E124tazt)](6) (1) (HE124tazt = 4-ethyl-5-pyridin-2-yl-2,4-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazol-3-thione), the result of an oxidative cyclization of the starting thiosemicarbazone. All Ag atoms of [Ag(E124tazt)](6) are bridged through the six S atoms of the deprotonated E124tazt ligand to form two bridged Ag3S3 rings. Each silver atom exhibits a trigonal planar coordination geometry bonded to two thiolate S atoms and one N atom from the bidentate E124tazt ligand. The Ag center dot center dot center dot Ag distances are much shorter than the van der Waals' radius sum for silver(I), suggesting binding interactions between the silver atoms, which were confirmed by means of DFT calculations. The X-ray single-crystal structural analysis reveals the arrangement of 1 as a two-dimensional (2D) network via pi-pi stacking interactions. Preliminary luminescence measurements have been carried out. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
