Silver coordination compounds and one-dimensional polymers have been studied, using a linear, flexible N-donor ligand. The solid state structures are well known and show panoply of different structures including a large number of polymorphism, pseudo-polymorphism and isomers. We have studied these structures under the influence of anions, solvents and crystallization conditions, studying also...

Complexes with silver ions have great potential for applications in medicine. Appropriate bidentate ligands, binding to silver ions, are able to generate coordination polymers as well as molecular entities as a function of ligand flexibility, conformation and length. Here we present the continuation of our previous studies in this field with ligands based on oligomers of polyethylene glycol,...

Varying the polyethyleneglycol spacer between two (iso)-nicotinic groups of the ligand systems, a large structural variety of silver coordination compounds was obtained, starting with zero-dimensional ring systems, via one-dimensional chains, helices and double-helices to two-dimensional polycatenanes. Theoretical calculations help to understand their formation and allow predictions in some...

This chapter of "Polymer Networks: Synthesis, Properties, Theory and Applications" provides a brief overview on metal ion containing coordination polymer networks, how and why they are made, as an alternative to classical polymers. Our focus will be polymorphism, supramolecular isomerism and pseudo-polymorphism. Examples from our group of metal ion containing coordination polymer networks with...

The two-dimensional structure described here is the first example of a coordination polymer structure consisting of one-dimensional polycatenanes fused via silver ions. It can be derived from simple rings consisting of two silver ions and two ligand molecules.

The influence of the solubility of AgNO₃ in three solvent systems is studied for the reaction between AgNO₃ and the ligand L(= ethanediyl bis(isonicotinate)). Three solid state structures are obtained, differing in the relative ratio Ag : L in the first case, and in polymorphism in the second. The Ag–O(NO₃⁻) distance correlates strongly with the solubility of AgNO₃ in...
