Carbon and nitrogen coordinated silver(I) polymers of 2,4,6-triphenoxy-1,3,5-triazine

For the purpose of furthering the understanding of steric structure effects upon coordination behavior and exploring the possibility of non-planar com plexation in the triazine system for formation of extended polymeric struct ures, 2,4,6-triphenoxy-1,3,5-triazine(tpotz) has been reacted with silver(I ) perchlorate and trifluoromethanesulfonate. The crystal structures of [Ag- 2(tpotz)(3)(ClO4)(2)] and [Ag-2(tpotz)(2)(CF3SO3)(2)(THF)] have been determ ined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Tpotz is rich in organic componen ts that can offer potential sites for complexation, which can be utilized t o generate an interesting array of organometallic compounds with one-dimens ional chains.
