Packing principles of thioether derivatives of triarylamine silver salts

Tris(4-methylthiophenyl)amine, 1, has been crystallized together with three silver salts, AgOTf (silver trifluoromethane sulfonate), AgClO4, and AgSbF6. The resulting crystal structures have been determined by singlecrystal X-ray methods. All three structures prove to have the same topological theme: their structures can be related to a double honeycomb pattern. In all cases, each silver ion is coordinated to at least three tris(4-methylthiophenyl)amine molecules.
