A chiral 3D silver(I)-benzenedithiolate coordination polymer exhibiting photoemission and non-linear optical response.

Abstract

A new tridimensional metal-organic chalcogenolate, made of a 1,3-benzenedithiolate bridging ligand and Ag(I), [Ag2(1,3-BDT)]n, is reported. This coordination polymer has good thermal stability in air and displays both photoluminescence properties and a second harmonic generation response.
