A Room-Temperature Luminescent AgCF3COO Complex Consisting of Cationic Complex Chains and Anionic Guests†

Reaction of p-phenylenediacetonitrile (p-phda) with AgCF3COO afforded the coordination polymer, {[Ag2(p-phda)2] [Ag4(CF3COO)6]}n (1), where the 1D cationic [Ag2(p-phda)2]2+ chain acts as host and the anionic [Ag4(CF3COO)6]2– as guest molecules occupy the channel between neighboring host chains. This is a rare crystal example of AgCF3COO c...More
