Abstract

Two metal-organic coordination polymers, [Ag 2(imdt) 3(OAc) 2] n (1) (imdt = 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione, OAc = CH 3COO -) and [Ag(imdt)Cl] n (2), were synthesized under similar conditions by using Et 3N (triethylamine) as buffering agent. X-ray diffraction shows that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, C2/c space group, a = 13.822(5) Å, b = 9.082(3) Å, c = 16.965(6) Å, V = 2114.2(14) Å 3, Z=8, D c = 2.012g cm -3. Compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, P2 12 12 1 space group, a = 7.993(6) Å, b = 7.993(6) Å, c = 10.548(7) Å, V = 673.9(7) Å 3, Z = 4, D c = 2.419 g cm -3. Both 1 and 2 exhibit different architectures due to their different anions. Compound 1 shows a 2-D graphite-like network structure and 2 shows a 3-D diamond-like network structure.
