A Semiconducting Lamella Polymer [{Ag(C ₅ H ₄ NS)} _<i>n</i> ] with a Graphite‐Like Array of Silver( <scp>I</scp> ) Ions and Its Analogue with a Layered Structure

Abstract

Temperature dependent electrical conductivity is seen in [{Ag(C5H4NS)}n] (1). This inorganic polymer with a lamella structure and a graphite-like array of silver(I) ions (see picture) is prepared by the treatment of AgBF4 with pyridine-2-thiol in DMF at 0°C. However, the same reaction in CH3CN at room temperature generates the layered polymer [{Ag5(C5H4NS)4(C5H5NS)BF4}n] (2).
