to the loss of ligand BIM and decomposition of silver salts to Ag
calcd: 71.4%). Compound 2 exhibited a weight-loss of 63.5% in the
range of 230–279 °C. No further weight-loss is observed after
79 °C, indicating the complete decomposition of 2 to Ag O (calcd

residual weight: 35.1%, detected 35.0%). The higher thermal stabil-
ity of compound 1 (decomposition temperature 355 °C) relative to
that of compound 2 (230 °C) seems to be consistent with their
structure features, as there are shorter Ag. . .N bond lengths and
smaller distorted bond angles of N–Ag–N in 1 (Table 2). Addition-
ally, the interwoven structures of 1 may also have some positive ef-
fect on its thermal stability.

The photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 have been investi-
gated. Emission spectra at room temperature in the solid state are
shown in Fig. 5. Both 1 and 2 exhibit weak photoluminescence
upon photoexcitation at 284 nm and 326 nm, respectively. The
main emission peaks are located at 345 nm for 1 and 409 nm for

In this paper, we have synthesized and characterized two new
[
silver coordination polymers by using two different ligands con-
taining N atoms, BIM and 2-mBIM. Two novel and interesting
structural motifs were identified, obtained only through the subtle
change of ligand structures. Compound 1 is an example of silver
coordination network with 2D molecular interwoven structure
united through weak Ag. . .Ag interactions. Compound 2 adopts a
wavy 2D layer network through the Ag. . .Ag interactions between
each neighboring 1D zigzag chains. These results also suggest that
a subtle change in the ligand structure may have a great influence
on the assembly process and the resulting architectures of the me-
tal–organic frameworks.
