The synthesis of bis(4-(2-pyridilmethyleneamino)phenyl)ether, L1, has been reported elsewhere (Cheng et al., 2000; Tesouro Vallina et al., 1999b). A methanolic solution of AgCF3SO3 (1 equivalent, 0.1 mmol, 0.0257 g per 15 ml) was added slowly to a methanolic solution of L1 (1 equivalent, 0.1 mmol, 0.0378 g per 10 ml) under N2 and protected from the light. The colour of the mixture changed to deep yellow and a precipitate appeared. The mixture was heated to ca 313 K with stirring for 2 h, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The yellow solid obtained was dissolved in acetonitrile and left undisturbed in the dark for ca two weeks, whereupon yellow–green crystals were formed. IR (KBr pellet, cm-1): 3468, 3067 (C—H), 1626, 1592, 1561, 1496, 1441, 1420 (C═C, C═N), 1251 (Ph—O), 1056, 1029, 1008, 837, 775 (CF3). Analysis for [AgL][CF3SO3]·2H2O (623.41 g mol-1), calculated: C 48.17, H 3.71, N 8.98%; found: C 48.43, H 3.36, N 8.20%. MS (ESI) m/z: 1121, [Ag2L2CF3SO3]+; 865, [AgL2]+; 742, [Ag2LCF3SO3]+ and 486, [Ag2L2]2+. UV/Vis (λmax/nm, ethanol solution): 330, 390. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 7.09 (4H, d, Ph), 7.50 (4H, d, Ph), 7.70 (2H, m, py), 8.13 (4H, dd, py), 8.78 (2H, d, py), 8.89 (2H, s, C═N).
The CF3SO3- anion was disordered about a center of symmetry. The H atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms using SHELXL default parameters. The H atoms of the partially occupied water molecule could not be located. The Rint value of 0.18 is due to the poor quality of the crystal, which did not diffract significantly above 40° in 2θ, and the low I/σ(I) ratio obtained. The ratio of parameters to observed data is at the lower end of the scale, ca 5, but the s.u.'s. are reasonable. This is also responsable for the GOF value which is slightly less than 0.8.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The reaction of the ligand bis[4-(2-pyridilmethyleneamino)phenyl] ether, L1, with Ag(CF3SO3) yielded an ionic complex, AgL1, consisting of a one-dimensional zigzag coordination polymer, Fig. 1. Similar single-stranded silver polymers have been reported previously (Bowyer et al., 1998; Carlucci et al., 1998; Suzuki et al., 1995; Withersby et al., 1997). Using L1 and AgNO3 very small poor crystals of a similar zigzag polymer have also been prepared (Tesouro Vallina & Stoeckli-Evans, 1999a). Using BF4- as counter-ion Cheng et al. (2000) have recently published the structure of a silver(I) double-stranded helix, previously postulated by Hannon et al. (1999) and Yoshida et al. (2000), for a similar ligand where the central ether linkage is replaced by a CH2 group. In AgL1, the Ag—Npy and Ag—Nim bond distances, 2.283 (4) and 2.343 (4) Å, respectively, are similar to those observed in the above-mentioned complexes. The chelate bite angle of 72.69 (16)° is also within the expected range. The ligand is twisted about the central O atom with the two benzene rings being inclined by 51.09 (2)°. The two halves of the ligand (related by a twofold axis) are fairly planar which contrasts with the structure of the ligand itself, where one half of the ligand is much less planar than the other (Tesouro Vallina et al., 2001). The best plane through atoms N1, C1—C6, N2, C7—C12 is planar to within 0.055 (5) Å and the Ag atom is displaced from this plane by 0.227 (5) Å. In the crystal, the chains stack up the c axis with a π–π overlap of symmetry-related aromatic rings; the shortest intermolecular C.·C distance is ca 3.52 (2) Å, Fig. 2.
Despite the polymeric nature of the title compound in the solid state, positive ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy) in acetonitrile indicates that the most abundant ion in solution is [Ag2L2]2+ at m/z 486, which corresponds to a binuclear complex, probably the double helix.
