New 2-D silver(I) coordination network constructed from thiomethyl group-substituted p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene

New ligand based on p-tertbutyltetrathiacalix[4]arene blocked in 1,3-alternate conformation, was achieved via a multistep synthesis with the introduction of thiomethylpropoxy groups on the lower rim which leads to a neutral tecton. The combination of this p-tertbutyltetrathiacalix[4]arene (p-TCA-2), in 1, 3-alternate imposed conformation, with tetrahedral Ag(I)SbF6 salt, leads to the formation of neutral, new 2-D coordination network, which was structurally investigated in the solid state by X-ray diffraction methods on a single crystal.

A new ligand based on p-tertbutyltetrathiacalix[4]arene with a blocked 1,3-alternate conformation was synthesized by introducing thiomethylpropoxy groups on the lower rim, resulting in a neutral structure. The combination of this ligand (p-TCA-2) in the imposed 1,3-alternate conformation with tetrahedral Ag(I)SbF6 salt led to the formation of a neutral 2-D coordination network, which was structurally investigated using X-ray diffraction methods on a single crystal.
