摘要:
                                Several alpha-amino acids, (l,d)-alanine and (l,d)-phenylalanine were utilized, as precursors for synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolyl carboxylic acids (l,d)-trala-H and (l,d)-trphe-H, which were explored as angular bifunctional building blocks for engineering Ag(I)-coordination polymers. Two complexes, [Ag(mu(4)-trala)]center dot H2O (1) and [Ag(mu(4)-trphe)]center dot H2O (2), were prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions and characterized. The organic ligands coordinate silver cations in a deprotonated form via a N2O2 donor set, where the tr group behaves in a [N-N] mode while the carboxylate function serves as a mu(2)-eta(2):eta(0) bridge. Complexes 1 and 2 possess a layered structure consisting of [Ag([N-N]-tr)(COO)](n) chains which are interlinked through ligand spacers. Being oriented toward the neighboring layers, the hydrocarbon side "tails" display a peculiar role in the supramolecular organization of "sitting-on-layer" three-dimensional baskets. Each container is pleasantly suitable for binding a water molecule via an H-bonding acceptor portal of carboxylate fragments. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
