A novel luminescent 3D polymer containing silver chains formed by ligand unsupported Ag–Ag interactions and organic spacers

Abstract

A luminescent polymer [{Ag(H2btc)2}{Ag2(Hbtc)}]n with weak semiconductivity has been synthesized; structural analysis shows that the polymer possesses a 3D structure which contains silver chains formed by ligand unsupported Ag–Ag interactions and carboxylate spacers.
