Abstract: A novel two-dimensional coordination polymer, poly[[ [mu] ₂-1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propane]di- [mu] ₄-iodido-di- [mu] ₃-iodido-silver(I)], [Ag₄I₄(C₁₁H₁₆N₄)]_n, (I), has been synthesized by solvothermal reaction of AgNO₃, KI and 1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propane (bmimp). In (I), the two unique Ag^I cations have AgNI₃ and AgI₄ four-coordinated tetrahedral geometries. The bmimp ligand has imposed twofold symmetry. The Ag^I cations and iodide anions form a unique one-dimensional polymeric column motif incorporating [Ag₆I₆] hexagonal prisms, which are then connected by bmimp ligands to form two-dimensional organic-inorganic layers. The layers are arranged in parallel in an ABAB fashion and are packed into the resultant three-dimensional supramolecular framework by van der Waals interactions.

Formula: [Ag₄I₄(C₁₁H₁₆N₄)]
