Anion-induced Ag(I) self-assemblies with electron deficient aromatic ligands: anion-π-system interactions as a driving force for templated coordination networks.

Three novel 1D, 2D and 3D coordination polymers were successfully isolated using nitrogen based 3,6-bis(2'-pyrimidyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (BPymTz) and 2,4,6-tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPymT) ligands with Ag(I) ions. The formation of these supramolecular assemblies was templated through anion-π-system interactions.
