Abstract
The bis[silver(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate] complex of the fully conj ugated tubelike hydrocarbon 5,24:6,11:12,17: 18,23-tetra[1,2]benzenote trabenzo[a,e,i, m]cyclohexadecene crystallizes with two molecules of w ater and two of toluene, and thus has the formula [Ag-2(C56H32)(C7H8)( 2)(H2O)(2)](CF3SO3)(2). The formula unit of the latter displays invers ion symmetry, while the ligand itself displays approximate D-4h symmet ry. Each Ag+ ion is coordinated by one C atom of each of two adjacent rings of the ligand, one water oxygen and one toluene C-C bond.
