Polymeric (ethylenediamine)silver(I) 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate

H.-L. Zhu, X.-J. Wang, F.-J. Meng and X.-Y. Liu

Abstract: In the title compound, catena-poly[[silver(I)--ethylenediamine] 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate], {[Ag(C₂H₈)](C₆H₂N₃O₇)}_n, the Ag atom is bicoordinated, in a linear configuration, by two different N atoms from two symmetry-related ethylenediamine ligands, resulting in a linear polymeric helical chain with an [-Ag-N-C-C-N-]_n backbone. In the crystal structure, the components are connected by weak interactions between Ag and O atoms from the phenolate anion and the nitro groups. There are also weak hydrogen-bonding interactions between the NH₂ groups and some of the O atoms of the anions, forming a three-dimensional network.
