Description:
The self-assembly of 4 - MTPP [ 4 - MTPP = 2-(methylthio)-4-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrimidine] with Cu(NO 3 ) 2 and AgNO 3 was structurally investigated. For Cu(NO 3 ) 2 , a discrete mononuclear Cu II coordination compound, [Cu( 4 - MTPP ) 2 (NO 3 ) 2 ] ( 1 ), resulted that is exclusively based on Cu–N coordination. For AgNO 3 , a unique one-dimensional double-chain structure ( 2 ) was obtained with the Ag–N distances varying from 2.181(9) to 2.223(9) Å, and the average Ag–S distance being 2.98 Å. Compared to zero-dimensional 1 , the extension to one-dimensional 2 is considered to result from the specific affinity between Ag + and the ligand 4 - MTPP that is attributed to the strong coordinating tendency of silver for aromatic nitrogen and thioether sulfur atoms.
