Abstract
A 3D zinc(II) threefold interpenetrating network {[Zn(dimb) 2](ClO4)2}n (1) and a π-π induced silver(I) double zigzag polymer {[Ag(dimb)](NO3)· (H2O)}n (2) were synthesized via a functional bidentate ligand 1,3-di(imidazole-1-yl-methyl)-5-methyl-benzene (dimb). The X-ray single crystal structural study indicated that the former complex represents an example of 3D interpenetrating network with a diamond topology in which aromatic ligands serve as the connector, while the latter is the first double zigzag polymer that has been formed by two adjacent infinite ID zigzags through π-π interactions between benzene rings of the ligand. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.
