Counteranion-directed structural consequences in silver–adenine N-oxide complexes

Abstract

Crystallographic investigations of N9-propyladenine N¹-oxide silver complexes, having different counteranions, are reported. While hydrogen bonded 1D polymeric chains were observed in case of NO₃⁻ (1) and BF₄⁻ (2); PF₆⁻ (3) and OTf⁻ (4) afforded six membered metallacycles; and ClO₄⁻ (5) resulted in coordination polymers comprising of quartet of dimeric assemblies.
