A novel (CH3OH)(H2O)5 binary cluster is trapped in a photoluminescent silver(I) coordination polymeric host, [Ag2(bpp)2(H2O)(ssa)·4H2O·CH3OH]n (1, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, H2ssa = 5-sulfosalicylic acid). The heterohexamer can be viewed as either a D5 water pentamer with a dangling methanol molecule or a combination of D4 tetrameric water and methanol–water heterodimer. This well-resolved heterohexamer may behave as a useful model helping us to further understand phase behavior of binary methanol–water system. The luminescent behavior of 1 was also discussed.
Graphical abstractA novel (CH3OH)(H2O)5 binary cluster which is trapped in a photoluminescent silver(I) coordination polymeric host, [Ag2(bpp)2(H2O)(ssa)·4H2O·CH3OH]n (1, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, H2ssa = 5-sulfosalicylic acid) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights► A novel silver(I) complex 1 has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. ► A rare (CH3OH)(H2O)5 binary cluster was observed in 1. ► The heterohexamer can be viewed as a combination of a D5 water pentamer and a methanol molecule. ► The luminescent behavior of 1 was also discussed.
