catena-Poly[[bis[-2-(3-pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazole]disilver(I)]--benzene-1,4-disulfonato]

J. Chen and Y. Ruan

Abstract: The title compound, [Ag₂(C₆H₄O₆S₂)(C₁₂H₉N₃)₂]_n, is a coordination polymer prepared by a hydrothermal reaction. Two Ag^I atoms are connected by two 2-(3-pyridyl)benzimidazole ligands, resulting in a binuclear macrocycle. The bridging benzene-1,4-disulfonate ligands link the binuclear units, forming a chain. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-HO hydrogen bonds.
