New silver(I) coordination architectures of pyridyl dithioether ligands with Ag⋯Ag, Ag⋯O, Ag⋯S and C-H⋯F weak interactions

The syntheses and crystal structures of three new silver(I) complexes with three structurally related flexible pyridyl dithioether bridging ligands are reported. The differences of the ligand spacers remarkably influence the coordination modes of the ligands and result in different structural complexes. Weak interactions play a crucial role in the self-organization of such supramolecular complexes, and stabilize the complex structures in the solid state.
