Benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl]benzamides as bifunctional reagents for reliable inorganic-organic supramolecular synthesis

摘要

A series of ligands that utilize. five- membered N- heterocycles as coordination sites, and the self- complementarity of the carboxamide functionality, have been employed in the supramolecular synthesis of Ag( I)- based extended networks. The crystal structures of eight compounds are reported: bis[ 4-( 2- methylbenzimidazol- 1-yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) tetrafluoroborate hydrate methanol, 1; bis[ 3-( 2- methylbenzimidazol- 1-yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) tetrafluoroborate, 2; bis[ 4-( 5,6- dimethylbenzimidazol- 1- yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) tetrafluoroborate, 3; bis[ 4-( 2- methylbenzimidazol- 1- yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) hexafluoroarsenate methanol, 4; bis[ 3-( 2- methylbenzimidazol- 1- yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) hexafluoroarsenate methanol(0.5), 5; bis[ 4-( 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol- 1- yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) hexafluoroarsenate, 6; bis[ 4-( 2- methylbenzimidazol- 1-yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) hexafluoroantimonate, 7; and bis[ 3-( 2- methylbenzimidazol- 1- yl) methylbenzamide] silver( I) hexafluoroantimonate, 8. An analysis of motifs and structural patterns that result from the primary intermolecular interactions in these structures, reveals that this family of ligands is capable of providing quite reliable means for propagating the linear geometry of the complex ions into extended 1- D architectures via ligand - ligand, N - H (...) O, hydrogen- bond interactions.
