Crystal structure and photo-induced property of two-dimensional silver(I) complex with 1,3,5-tris(benzylsulfanyl)benzene
摘要:
The silver(l) complex [Ag-2(3bsb)(2)(ClO4)(2)] (1) (3bsb; 1,3,5-tris(benzylsulfanyl)benzene) has been prepared and its molecular structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. In 1, the silver ion prefers a tetrahedral coordination geometry and produces a two-dimensional sheet structure containing dimeric units. Irradiation of this complex 1 with light changes its color from white to pink; heat or exposure to acetone vapor makes the irradiated sample revert back to white. However, only 3bsb has no characteristic like this photochromism. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
