Abstract

On reaction with Ag(I), phenyl 1,3-dithiolane-2-carboxylate undergoes hydrolysis and assembles into a metal–organic coordination polymer. Crystals of the polymer were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The metallopolymer exists as a sheet-like structure consisting of twisted strands. An additional structural feature is an apparent Ag–Ag interaction (3.0679 Å) supported by the thiolane sulfur atoms. Carboxyl and triflate oxygen atoms are also key donors to the Ag(I) centers.
