Construction of a crystalline Ag(i) coordination polymer based on a new ligand generated from unusual in situ aza-Michael addition reaction

Abstract

A two-dimensional (2D) Ag(I) coordination polymer [Ag(Htzsuc)]_n (1, H₂tzsuc = 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)succinic acid) comprising a ligand not included in the original reaction mixture but instead generated through an unusual in situ aza-Michael addition reaction of 1H-1,2,4-triazole and fumaric acid during hydrothermal treatment was synthesised. Moreover, the thermal stability and luminescent properties of 1 were discussed.
