Pk. Bowyer et al., FROM HELICATE TO INFINITE COORDINATION POLYMER - CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURES OF SILVER(I) COMPLEXES OF READILY PREPARED DI-SCHIFF BASES, Chemical communications, (10), 1998, pp. 1153-1154
The readily prepared di-Schiff base of pyridine-2-aldehyde and ethane-
1,2-diamine 1 reacts with silver(I) tetrafluoroborate to form by self-
assembly the double-stranded D-2-helicate (+/-)-[Ag(2)1(2)](BF4)(2); t
he corresponding Schiff base of (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine [(R,R)
-2] reacts with silver(I) nitrate to produce the homochiral single-str
anded C-2-coordination polymer M-{[Ag{(R,R)-2}]NO3 . 2H(2)O}(infinity)
