Abstract

Ligand-directed 2D and 3D Ag(I) coordination networks are self-assembled from the rigid, topologically related tri-amino ligands cis-3,5-diaminopiperidine (cis-dapi) and cis,trans-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane (trans-tach), yielding two networks of differing dimensionality including a 3D network of unprecedented topology comprising helical channels.
