A new tri-nuclear Ag(I)-MOF as potential energetic materials constructed using (1e)-N′-hydroxy-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) ethanimidamide and nitrates

A new 3D MOF {[Ag3(HTE)2(NO3)2]·NO3}n (1) (THE = (1e)-N′-hydroxy-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) ethanimidamide) with trinuclear units has been synthesized and structurally characterized. As the HTE ligand possess higher nitrogen content, 1 may be used as a potential energetic material.458
