Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Properties of a Silver(I) Complex Constructed from (+)-N-Tosyl-L-glutamic Acid and 1,3-Bis(4-pyridyl)propane

A homochiral complex [Ag(HtsgluO)(bpp)](n) (1) was synthesized and characterized by the reaction of chiral (+)-N-Tosyl-L-glutamic acid (H(2)tsgluO) and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) with silver salts. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1), a=1.220 79(18) nm, b=1.034 49(16) rim, c=2.059 5(3) nm, beta=96.006(2)degrees, V=2.586 7(7) nm(3), Z=4, and final R=0.060 2. The silver atom lies in a distorted tetrahedral environment formed by one HtsgluO(-) oxygen, two bpp nitrogen and one symmetry-related silver(I) ions. It exhibits an infinite two-dimensional (2D) layered structure assembled by the argentophilic Ag-Ag interactions. Furthermore, these 2D layers are extended through extensive hydrogen bonding interactions to form an infinite 3D supramolecular network. In addition, the properties of thermogravimetric analysis and photoluminescent behavior of the complex have also been discussed. CCDC: 795083.
