Abstract

New complexes {[AgL]X}n(X=BF4-, 1a; X=ClO4-, 1b) and {[Ag(L)2]ClO4}n(2) were synthesized by the reactions of corresponding silver(I) salt with new tripodal ligand 3, 3'-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) propylazanediyl] dipropanenitrile(L) under ligand to metal ratio of 1:1 and 2:1, respectively, and their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and electrospray mass spectrometry. Complexes 1a and 1b have one-dimensional(1D) chain structure while complex 2 is mononuclear. The results show that the metal to ligand ratio has subtle influence on the structure of the complexes.
