Multiple Processing of Metal-Ion Coordination, Anion-Binding, Hydrogen-Bonding- Self-Assembly and p-p Stacking Subprograms in Silver (I) oordination Polymers

Abstract

New crystalline coordination-polymers are obtained under conditions in which distinct metal ion coordination, hydrogen-bonding and p-p stacking subprograms are involved in independent binding events of ureidopyridyl ligands 1 and 2 by silver hexafluorophosphate or silver triflate. The geometrical information contained in the structure of the ligands 1 and 2 is fully exploited by the silver ion coordination and urea-self assembly or H-bond anion coordination templating features in an independent way. The resulted linear or angular sequences may serve to use the information stored in molecular components that could be read out by synergistic and sequential non-covalent subprograms. It results in linear or tubular supramolecular coordination polymers constructed in a bottom-up strategy.
