Abstract

The trimetallic compound catena-poly[dipotassium(I) [bis-(2,2′- bipyridine)di-μ3-trifluoro-acetato-dodeca-2-trifluoro-acetato- diplatinum(II)octa-silver(I)]], K2 [Pt2Ag8 (C2F3O2)14(C10H 8N2)2], forms an extended structure in the solid state. Electrostatic inter-actions involving the K+ ions play a key role in the formation of the extended structure in three dimensions. The AgI ions form one-dimensional coordination polymers, with alternating Ag2 and Ag6 units linked by CF3CO2 - ligands. Pt⋯Pt inter-actions perpendicular to the one-dimensional polymerization axis provide another element of long-range order, and electrostatic inter-actions with K+ ions provide connectivity between adjacent polymeric structures.
