AI Article Synopsis

  • The reaction of silver(i) perchlorate with the ligand bisox in methanol results in a triply-interpenetrated sheet structure.
  • On recrystallization from acetonitrile-diethyl ether, a hybrid structure with interpenetrated sheets and Ag(2)(bisox)(3) cages forms.
  • Heating the material under vacuum leads to a rearrangement where the cages transform into sheets, involving a change in the conformation of the bisox ligands.

Article Abstract

The reaction of silver(i) perchlorate with the semi-rigid ligand 1,4-bis((3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)methyl)benzene (bisox) in methanol gives a triply-interpenetrated sheet structure, but a structure containing both interpenetrated sheets and Ag(2)(bisox)(3) cages is formed on recrystallisation from acetonitrile-diethyl ether. Rearrangement of the cages into sheets occurs on heating under vacuum, a process which involves a solid state change in conformation of the bisox ligands.
