Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of the isolated, infinite tubular coordination polymers {[Ag(<i>cis</i>-tach)]ClO₄}_∞ (<b>1</b>), {[Ag(<i>trans</i>-tach)]ClO₄}_∞ (<b>2</b>) and {[Ag(<i>cis</i>-tach)]BF₄}_∞ (<b>3</b>) has been achieved with the isomers <i>cis,cis</i>-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane and <i>cis,trans</i>-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane. Each new material has been fully characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, IR and elemental analysis. Compounds <b>1</b>–<b>3</b> form definite channels by the trigonal planar coordination of silver(I) metal centres to rigid, aliphatic triamino ligands, forming 4²·6 topological networks.
