Abstract

Two new ladder motifs of [Ag(4,4′-bpy)] ∞ (4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) sidepieces that are linked by ligand-supported or ligand-unsupported Ag⋯Ag rungs have been crystallographically documented in [Ag(4,4′-bpy)( μ 2-O 2CMe)] n ·3 nH 2O 1 and [Ag(4,4′-bpy)] n (H 2PO 4) n ·(H 3PO 4) n 2, respectively; both compounds were synthesized from the self-assembly of silver(I) salts with 4,4′-bpy. The ladders in both complexes are stacked into layers, which are further interconnected by the hydrogen-bonding nets formed by the counterions and water (or H 3PO 4) molecules, resulting in two three-dimensional networks.
