Chelating, bridging, and chain structures within Ag(I) and Cu(I) complexes of bis(nicotinyloxy), bis(isonicotinyloxy), and bis(pyrimidine-5-carboxyloxy)-1,8-disubstituted anthraquinone ligands
摘要:
Reaction of Ag(I) and Cu(I) [M(NCCH3)(4)]X (X = BF4- and PF6-) salts with 1,8-bis(nicotinyloxy)anthracene-9,10-dione (1), 1,8-bis(isonicotinyloxy)anthracene-9,10-dione (2), and 1,8-bis(pyrimidine-5-carboxyloxy)anthracene-9,10-dione (3), yield new chelating and bridging complexes and two new coordination polymers. The bridging capabilities of ligands 1 and 2 have not been demonstrated before, and ligand 1, by itself, has the flexibility to produce either chelated or bridged structures and an unusual ladder coordination polymer. The tetradentate ligand 3 also produces a one-dimensional coordination polymer in the presence of one equivalent of Ag(I). All complexes have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
