The title compound, [Ag2(C6H4N4)(N3)]n, was obtained under hydro­thermal conditions at 433 K. The asymmetric unit of the ortho­rhom­bic space group (Pna21) consists of two Ag+ cations, an anionic 5-(pyridin-4-yl)tetra­zolide (4-ptz) ligand and an anionic azide ligand. Both Ag+ centres are coordinated by four N atoms, forming a distorted tetra­hedral coordination environment. When all the component ions are viewed as 4-connected nodes, the whole three-dimensional network can be regarded topologically as a new kind of 4,4,4,4-connected net with the Schläfli symbol (4.85)(42.84)(43.83)2.

Introduction top

In continuation of our investigations on the synthesis and properties of multifunctional pyridinyl­tetra­zole-based metal coordination complexes (Meng et al., 2012), we report here another 5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1Htetra­zole (4-ptz) complex of silver (I), (I). It was synthesized under hydro­thermal conditions using the rea­cta­nts pyridine-4-carbo­nitrile, sodium azide and silver nitrate in water for 3 d at 433 K. The formation mechanism can be explained with the well-known [2+3] cyclo-addition reaction of organic nitriles with azide anions in the presence of metal ions such as Zn2+, Cd2+,Cu+ and Ag+ as catalysts (Yang et al., 2009).

Experimental top

Synthesis and crystallization top

All the reagents and solvents were used as obtained without further purification. Equimolar amounts of Ag(NO3) (0.2 mmol, 34.0 mg), pyridine-4-carbo­nitrile (0.2 mmol, 20.8 mg) and sodium azide (0.2 mmol, 13.0 mg) were mixed in water (10.0 ml) and stirred for half an hour under ambient conditions. The mixture was then sealed in a 20 ml Teflon-lined reaction vessel and heated at 433 K for 3 d. Subsequently, the reaction solution was cooled slowly to room temperature at a rate of 5 K h-1. The final product was collected manually, washed with water and air-dried to obtain block-shaped crystals of (I) (yield 56%, based on silver nitrate, ca 23.2 mg).

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) top

A powder nonlinear second-harmonic generation (SHG) test of (I) was conducted using the Kurtz & Perry (1968) method. The SHG intensity data were obtained by placing a sieved (80–100 mesh) powder sample in an intense fundamental beam from a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with wavelength 1064 nm. The output (at λ = 532 nm) was filtered first to remove the multiplier and was then displayed on an oscilloscope. This procedure was then repeated using the standard nonlinear optical (NLO) material (i.e. microcrystalline KDP), and the ratio of the second-harmonic intensity outputs was calculated successively. A solid-state photoluminescence measurement of the powder sample (I) was carried out on a Perkin–Elmer LS50B.

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. Systematic absences indicated two possible space groups, viz. Pna21 and Pnma. No suitable solution could be obtained in the space group Pnma, whereas a satisfactory solution and refinement was achieved in the polar space group Pna21. Convergence was reached with a Flack (1983) parameter of 0.50 (6), indicating inversion twinning in this noncentrosymmetric space group. ADDSYM in PLATON (Spek, 2009) did not detect higher (i.e. Pnma) symmetry.

H atoms bonded to C atoms were positioned geometrically, with aromatic C—H = 0.93 Å, and refined in a riding mode, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Results and discussion top

The asymmetric unit of poly[(µ4-azido)[µ4-5-(pyridin-4-yl)tetra­zolido]disilver(I), (I), consists of two Ag+ cations, one anionic 5-(pyridin-4-yl)tetra­zolide (4-ptz) ligand and one anionic azide ligand (Fig. 1), all in general positions. In the 4-ptz- ligand, the plane of the tetra­zole ring is twisted slightly from that of the pyridine ring [dihedral angle = 17.7 (3)°], which is significantly smaller than the corresponding value of 45.0 (2)° in a copper analog (Meng et al., 2012). Both Ag+ cations atoms are coordinated by four N in a distorted tetra­hedral configuration. For atom Ag1, the Ag—N bond lengths range from 2.196 (5) to 2.478 (7) Å and the N—Ag—N angles range from 95.7 (2) to 140.82 (19)° (Table 2). The corresponding ranges for atom Ag2 are 2.224 (5)–2.666 (5) Å and 88.34 (19)–168.82 (18)°, indicating that the degree of distorsion from an ideal tetra­hedron around Ag2 is more extreme than that around Ag1. Comparing all Ag—N bonds, it can be seen that the Ag—N(tetra­zole) and Ag—N(pyridine) bond lengths have similar values and that they are shorter by ca 0.1 Å than the Ag—N(azide) bonds (Table 2).

The ionic components of (I) are linked into a three-dimensional coordination polymer which can be analyzed as follows. Firstly, the combination of the pyridine and 3-positioned N atom of the tetra­zole ring and atom Ag2 forms a one-dimensional coordination chain along the [011] direction under the symmetry operation of a glide plane at (0.25, 0, 0) (Fig. 2). By the symmetry operation of the twofold skew axis at [0.5,0,0], another one-dimensional chain is generated along the [011] direction (Fig. 2). Similarly, the 2- and 4-positioned N atoms of the tetra­zole ring and atom Ag1 are linked into another one-dimensional chain along the [100] direction by a glide plane at the (0, 0.25, 0) plane. Consequently, the 4-ptz- anions and Ag+ cations are linked into a three-dimensional network based on these three symmetry operations. Secondly, the anionic azide ligands link the Ag+ cations, forming another one-dimensional chain along the [010] direction (Fig. 3). Based on the above, a three-dimensional network is formed by a combination of 4-ptz- and azide ligands coordinating to Ag+ cations.

Considering the denticity of the ligands, 4-ptz- can be regarded as tetra­dentate, with three tetra­zole and one pyridine N atoms coordinated to four different Ag+ cations in a µ4- bridging mode, leaving one lateral tetra­zole N atom (N4) uncoordinated. The N1-coordinated Ag1 atom and N2-coordinated Ag2 atom are only 3.4502 (8) Å apart, wheras the N2-coordinated Ag2 atom and the N3-coordinated Ag1(x+1/2, -y+1/2, z) atom are separated by 4.3144 (8) Å. As for the azide ligand, it can also act as a tetra­dentate ligand, but in the µ4-ηN62:ηN82- bridging mode from which each end-on N atom is coordinated to two Ag+ cations, with Ag1···Ag1(x, y+1, zz) and Ag2···Ag2(x, y+1, zz) distances of 3.651 (2) Å (Fig. 3). It is worth mentioning that this µ4-bridging mode of the azide anion with silver is the first reported example, based on a search in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.35, plus February 2014 update; Allen, 2002), where more than a 2000 hits are found related to azide anion coordination.

In the crystal packing, two weak inter­molecular C—H···N contacts were found in an analysis using PLATON (Spek, 2009) between pyridine atom C3 and azide atom N7 and between azide atoms C4 and N8 (Fig. 3 and Table 3). Additionally, a stronger ππ stacking inter­action between inversion-related pyridine rings was also observed, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of only 3.651 (2) Å (Fig. 3).

In order to further characterize the crystal structure of (I), we have tried to analyze and simplify the complex network using the program TOPOS (Blatov, 2006) by considering all the Ag+, 4-ptz- and N3- ions as topologically independent 4,4,4,4-connected nodes. As mentioned above, we have firstly taken into account only the 4-ptz- and Ag+ ions. The crystal structure can be simplified into a CdSO4-like topological network (Fig. 4) by these two types of 4-connected nodes, with short and long Schläfli symbols of (65.8) and [6.6.6.6.6 (2).*], respectively. By considering the azide ligand as the third 4-connected node, the CdSO4-like network is further linked together, forming the final 4,4,4,4-connected three-dimensional topological network with a nodal stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:1:1 and a Schläfli symbol of (4.85)(42.84)(43.83)2 (Fig. 5).

In view of a potential photoluminescence properties of this pyridinyl­tetra­zole-based metal polymer, complex (I) was studied with the exciting wavelength set at 355 nm. The result indicates that it could be a potentially good blue-coloured fluorescent material, with a maximum emission peak at about 452 nm which might be attributed to intra-ligand ππ* orbital charge transfer (MLCT).

The nonlinear SHG property of complex (I) is mainly due to its acentric polar crystal structure in the space group Pna21. The SHG experiment indicates that (I) has a SHG intensity that is ca 0.8 times as strong as that of potassium di­hydrogen phosphate (KDP), which indicates some of the powder samples in bulk compound (I) are probably acentric symmetrical structure giving a certain directional polarity, although the crystal selected for X-ray diffraction experiment has been an inversion-twinned sample.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. The final converged flack parameter is of 0.50 (6), it is not confident for us to derive absolute structure of the compound. From this parameter, it can be concluded the crystal selected for X-ray diffraction should be inversion-related twin.
