Abstract

Silver(salts demonstrate a strong preference for forming linear complexes when reacted with 4-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (pep). The packing of these complexes was found to be strongly influenced by the counteranions, namely PF₆^-,BF₄^-, NO₂^-, NO₃^-, MeCO₂^-, CF₃CO₂^-, MeSO₃^-, Tos-and SCN-. This study evaluates a family of twelve solid-state structures that exhibit varying metal-to-ligand ratios, [Ag(pep)₂][PF₆]· MeCN, [Ag(pep)₂][PF₆], [Ag(pep)₂][BF₄], [Ag(pep)₂][Ag(NO₂)₂], [Ag(pep)₂][NO₃]·2H₂O, [Ag(pep)₂][Ag(NO₃)₂], [Ag(pep)₂(MeCO₂)]· 3H₂O, [Ag(pep)₂][CF3CO₂],[Ag(pep)₂][CF3SO₃], 2{[Ag(pep)₂]-[Tos]}·pep and [Ag(pep)(SCN)]. This family has enabled general trends and noteworthy packing-induced structure-property relationships to be elucidated. Highlights include two instances of single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations, one of which occurs with a colour change. This change in crystal colour has been further explored using first-principles computational modelling.
