As part of a study on the effect of different counter-anions on the self-assembly of coordination complexes, a new dinuclear AgI complex, [Ag2(C14H12N4)2](CF3SO3)2, with the 3-[3-(2-pyrid­yl)pyrazol-1-ylmeth­yl]pyridine (L) ligand was obtained through the reaction of L with AgCF3SO3. In this complex, each AgI center in the centrosymmetric dinuclear complex cation is coordinated by two pyridine and one pyrazole N-atom donor of two inversion-related L ligands in a trigonal planar geometry. This forms a unique box-like cyclic dimer with an intra­molecular nonbonding Ag...Ag separation of 6.379 (7) Å. Weak Ag...CF3SO3 and C—H...X (X = O and F) hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, together with π–π stacking inter­actions, link the complex cations along the [001] and [1\overline{1}0] directions, respectively, generating two different one-dimensional chains and then an overall two-dimensional network of the complex running parallel to the (110) plane. Comparison of the structural differences with previous findings suggests that the presence of different counter-anions plays an important role in the construction of such supra­molecular frameworks.

Comment top

The rational design and synthesis of functional coordination architectures has attracted much attention in recent years owing to their interesting structures and their potential uses as functional materials (Chen et al., 2006; Janiak, 2003; Robin & Fromm, 2006; Steel, 2005; Wang et al., 2008). Although the principles for controlling the solid structures of the target products still need to be classified and established, many rational synthetic strategies have been brought forward and have proved significant in the design of metal-based coordination complexes. The selection of suitable ligands as building blocks is undoubtedly a key point in manipulating the final structures of the complexes (Robin & Fromm, 2006; Steel, 2005). Other factors, such as the coordination geometry or radius of the metal ions (Du et al., 2007; Liu, Wang et al., 2007), the size or coordination ability of the counter-anions (Campos-Fernández et al., 2005; Hirsch et al., 1997; Huang et al., 2004; Xie et al., 2004; Zou et al., 2004), the presence of auxiliary ligands (Liu, Shi et al., 2006; Liu, Wang et al., 2007) or solvents (Kasai et al., 2000; Raehm et al., 2003), metal/ligand ratio (Saalfrank et al., 2001), and even pH value (Du et al., 2002), have also been found to influence significantly the structural topologies of such coordination frameworks.

Numerous related bis-heterocyclic chelating or bridging ligands have been synthesized and used extensively to construct functional coordination complexes that contain different hetero-aromatic ring systems, for example, pyridine, pyrazine, quinoline, quinoxaline, pyrazole, imidazole, thiazoles and their benzo-analogues (Steel, 2005). Ward and co-workers have reported many coordination architectures involving 3-(2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole and its derivative ligands (Bell et al., 2003; Paul et al., 2004; Singh et al., 2003; Ward et al., 2001). In our previous work, a series of 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole-based ligands have also been used to construct complexes with various structures, including multi-nuclear discrete molecules as well as one- and two-dimensional coordination polymers, which also exhibit interesting properties (Liu, Chen et al., 2006, Liu, Li et al., 2007; Liu, Shi et al., 2006; Liu, Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2005; Zou et al., 2006). Recently, we have reported the preparation of a nonplanar flexible ligand based on a pyrazolyl–pyridine chelating unit and a pendant pyridyl group, 3-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]pyridine (L) (Liu, Li et al., 2007). Its reaction with AgClO4 produced a one-dimensional helical chain coordination polymer, {[Ag(L)](ClO4)}, (II). To further investigate the influence of different counter-anions on the self-assembly process of coordination complexes, we chose to use L to construct new functional AgI complexes through its reaction with AgCF3SO3. We report here the crystal structure of complex (I), {[Ag(L)](CF3SO3)}2, and discuss the effect of different the counter-anions, ClO4- for (II) and CF3SO3- for (I), on the final structures of the relevant coordination complexes.

The structure of (I) consists of a centrosymmetric dinuclear [Ag(L)]22+ unit and two uncoordinated CF3SO3- ions. The dinuclear [Ag(L)]22+ cation (Fig. 1) comprises two L ligands and two AgI centers. Each AgI center adopts a distorted trigonal–planar geometry formed by three N-atom donors, two from the pyridyl–pyrazole ring system of one L ligand, and one from the pendant pyridine ring of another L ligand. All the Ag—N bond distances (Table 1) are in the normal range found in such complexes (Liu, Chen et al., 2006; Liu, Li et al., 2007). Meanwhile, each uncoordinated CF3SO3- anion exhibits a weak interaction with the AgI center [Ag1···O2 = 2.660 (5) Å]. In addition, adjacent discrete dinuclear [Ag(L)]22+ units are assembled into different one-dimensional chains, along the [001] and [110] directions, by the combined effects of intermolecular face-to-face ππ stacking [the centroid–centroid separation being 3.804 (5) Å between the pyridyl–pyrazole ring systems; symmetry code: -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 3] (Janiak, 2000), C—H···X hydrogen-bonding interactions (X = O and F) (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999) and the weak Ag···O interactions mentioned above (Fig. 2). The net result is a two-dimensional network running parallel to the (110) plane (Fig. 3).

In general, the effect of counter-anions on the self-assembly process of coordination complexes can be explained as being due to differences in sizes, shapes and coordination ability (Campos-Fernández et al., 2005; Hirsch et al., 1997; Huang et al., 2004; Xie et al., 2004; Zou et al., 2004).

The structural differences of complexes (I) and (II) serve to exemplify the eventual influence of counter-anions on the construction of supramolecular frameworks. Even if neither the ClO4- anion in (II) nor the CF3SO3- anion in (I) coordinates to the AgI cation, owing to their size difference they fulfill quite different template roles, strongly affecting the building of the corresponding final frameworks through weak Ag···O interactions with the different cationic subunits [a dinuclear motif in complex (I) and a one-dimensional motif in complex (II); see the scheme below]. This analysis shows that changes in counter-anions could adjust the framework formation of such complexes, and this fact may provide an effective method for controlling the coordination architectures of compounds with potentially useful properties.

Experimental top

The ligand L was synthesized according to the method reported by Liu, Li et al. (2007). To AgCF3SO3 (0.1 mmol) in a mixed solution of methanol (15 ml) and acetonitrile (5 ml) was added L (0.1 mmol). A yellow solid formed, which was filtered off, and the resulting solution was kept at room temperature. Yellow single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent after several days (yield ~30%). Elemental analysis calculated for C15H12AgF3N4O3S: C 36.53, H 2.45, N 11.36%; found: C 36.41, H 2.56, N 11.42%.

Refinement top

H atoms were included in calculated positions and treated in the subsequent refinement as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 (aromatic) or 0.97 Å (methylene), and with Uiso(H) equal to 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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.
