摘要:
A series of silver(I) complexes of a higher homologue of di-2-pyridyl ketone, 2,6-pyridinediylbis(4-pyridinyl)methanone (abbreviated as L), consisting of {[Ag(L)(BF4)]center dot H2O}infinity (1), {[Ag(L)(NO3)]center dot H2O}infinity (2), [Ag-3(L)(2)(NO2)(3)(H2O)]infinity (3), [Ag(L)](2)(PF6)(2) (4), {[Ag(L)(CO2CF3)](2)}infinity (5), [Ag(L)](2)(SO3CF3)(2) (6), and [Ag(L)](2)(CO2CF2CF3)(2) (7), have been synthesized and characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 are isomorphous helical polymers, 3 is a metallacycle featuring a trisilver(I) core, and 4-7 are isostructural complexes containing a common dinuclear [Ag-2(L)(2)](2+) metallacyclic skeleton. All complexes except 4 feature a common dominant intermolecular multipolar carbonyl center dot center dot center dot carbonyl interaction, which along with argentophilic Ag(I)center dot center dot center dot Ag(I), pi center dot center dot center dot pi, hydrogen-bonding, Ag center dot center dot center dot O=C, O(trifluoroacetate)center dot center dot center dot C=O as well as unconventional C=O center dot center dot center dot pi and anion-pi(pyridyl) interactions assemble the different coordination motifs (1-3, 5-7) into higher-dimensional frameworks. Three principal types of carbonyl center dot center dot center dot carbonyl interaction exhibiting antiparallel, sheared parallel, and perpendicular motifs are observed, and unusual supramolecular associations such as "center dot center dot center dot[C=O center dot center dot center dot C=O](n)center dot center dot center dot"(in 1-2 and 6) and "center dot center dot center dot[C=O center dot center dot center dot C=O center dot center dot center dot pi](n)center dot center dot center dot" (in 3) and "C=O center dot center dot center dot C=O center dot center dot center dot C=O" (in 7) are the novel structural features established in these complexes. The geometrical parameters and role of such noncovalent interactions in the construction of the present series of supramolecular metal organic frameworks are discussed.
