One-Dimensional Corrugated Tape Ag<sup>I</sup> Coordination Polymers Constructed of Ag−C Bonds AkhbariKamran MorsaliAli 2007 Three one-dimensional (1D) polymers assembled of Ag−C bonds, [Ag<sub>2</sub>(μ<sub>3</sub>-L)<sub>2</sub>(MeCN)]<i><sub>n </sub></i>(<b>1</b>−<b>3</b>) [L = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butandione (HTFPB) (<b>1</b>), 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-naphthyl-1,3-butandionate (HTFNB) (<b>2</b>), and 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-thiophen-1,3-butandione (HTFTB) (<b>3</b>)] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy. The thermal stability of compounds <b>1</b>−<b>3</b> were studied by thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analyses. The single-crystal X-ray structures of compounds <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> show two types of Ag<sup>I</sup> ions with coordination numbers of five and four. The Ag atoms contain strong Ag<sup>I</sup>−C<sub>methine</sub> bonds and thus produce 1D corrugated tape coordination polymers. Furthermore, the ligands and complexes <b>1</b>−<b>3</b> are luminescent in the solid state with emission maxima in the visible light region (λ<sub>max</sub> = 470 nm). The results of studies the stoichiometry and formation of complexes <b>1</b>−<b>3</b> in acetonitrile solution were found to be in support of their solid-state stoichiometries.
