I want to know about structure of Ag-BTC coordination polymer.
Can anyone give me some information about this type of coordination polymer?
Structure, Cluster and ....
Thank you
Hello Dear Saeed
From the last decade, MOFs that are constructed of metal ions coordinated to organic linkers (such as BTC = 2,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) to form one-, two-, or three-dimensional highly ordered porous structures have attracted much attention due to their high accessible surface area and porosity and have been applied in a variety of analytical fields such as gas separation, sensors, ion exchange, catalysis and supercapacitors. MOFs have been routinely synthesized by hydro/solvothermal methods.
Good Luck
There are lots of different ones, and they are highly dependent on pH, solvent system, concentration.
Your best course of action is to have a look through the CCDC (go to http://webcsd.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/substructure_search.php in Firefox) and you can draw in the ligand and metals that you are interested in. I believe that at present there are two such coordination polymers in the CCDC.
I have spent a little time looking at these systems, and I should warn you that the combination of argentophilic interactions and flat, planar ligands often means that these coordination polymers are very closely packed and don't have extended pores systems in that way that copper-btc frameworks do.
Good luck.
