Construction of a dinuclear silver(I) coordination complex with a Schiff base containing 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole ligands

Q. Sun, F. Zheng, X. Sun and W. Wang

Abstract: The new ligand 1-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yliminomethyl)-2-naphthol (L) and the title silver(I) complex, namely bis[-1-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yliminomethyl)-2-naphthol]bis{[1-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yliminomethyl)-2-naphthol]silver(I)} dinitrate monohydrate, [Ag₂(C₁₃H₁₀N₄O)₄](NO₃)₂·H₂O, were synthesized. Each silver center in the dimeric complex (related by an inversion centre) is coordinated by two bridging L ligands and one additional L ligand in a monodentate fashion, exhibiting a distorted trigonal-planar coordination. The discrete dimers are further linked through O-HO hydrogen bonds and weak - stacking interactions [the shortest atom-atom separation is ca 3.46 Å between the parallel stacking pairs]. Intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds are also present.
