Abstract

Abstract A new coordination polymer, [Ag3hmt3(μ3 ‐btc)]·5H2O (1) (hmt = hexamethylenetetramine, btc=1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxlic), has been successfully synthesized. Crystal data: P21/a, a = 11.9906(2) Å, b = 17.3689(2) Å, c = 16.96100(10) Å, β = 101.9820(14)°, V = 3455.40(7) Å3, Z = 4, Dc = 2.002 Mg/m3. In the hexagonal structure of Ag‐hmt unit, each Ag‐hmt unit comprises three Ag atoms and three hmt ligands. The μ3 ‐btc ligands bridge adjacent two‐dimensional honeycomb‐like Ag‐hmt layers to form three‐dimensional networks. Structure analysis show that hydrogen bonds play a key role for the stable structure in the compounds. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
