A three-dimensional chiral crystal structure constructed from a chiral triazolate ligand showing an SrSi2topology: poly[bis(μ3-3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-triazolato-κ3N1:N2:N4)trisilver nitrate

Abstract

In the title metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Ag3(C6H10N3)2]NO3}n, the Ag(I) cation is coordinated by two N atoms from two different 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-triazolate (detz) ligands in a linear configuration. Each Ag(I) cation is then connected to two adjacent Ag(I) cations via a μ3-N(1):N(2):N(4)-detrz ligand, resulting in a three-dimensional chiral silver-triazolate structure showing an SrSi2 (srs) net with 10(3) topology.
