Synthesis, Structural Characterization, Properties of a Silver Coordination Polymer Based on [1,1′-Biphenyl]-2,4,4′,6-tetracarboxylic Acid (HBPTC).

A new silver coordination polymer [Ag(BPTC)] has been synthesized by solvothermal reaction of AgNO and HBPTC. The X-ray crystal structural analysis indicates that 1 is a 2D coordinated framework, which contains argentophilic interactions and Ag-C interactions. The thermal stability and luminescent properties were also investigated. In addition, it was found to be efficient catalyst for the Sonogashira reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
