Synthesis and Characterization of New Coordination Polymers Generated from Bent Bis(Cyanophenyl)oxadiazole Ligands and Ag(I) Salts

Two new bent bis(cyanophenyl)oxadiazole ligands, 2,5-bis(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L7) and 2,5-bis(3-cyanophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L8), were synthesized. The coordination chemistry of these ligands with various
Ag(I) salts has been investigated. Seven new coordination polymers, namely, {[Ag(L7)(H2O)]ClO4}n (1) (triclinic,
P1̄, a = 9.342(4) Å, b = 9.889(4) Å, c = 10.512(4) Å, α = 68.978(6)°, β = 78.217(6)°, γ = 81.851(7)°, Z =

108.071(4)°, Z = 4), {[Ag(L8)]BF4·0.5(C6H6)·H2O}n(3) (triclinic, P1̄, a = 7.498(3) Å, b = 10.649(4) Å, c =
13.673(5) Å, α = 98.602(5)°, β = 100.004(5)°, γ =110.232(5)°, Z = 2), {[Ag(L8)SbF6]·H2O}n (4) (triclinic, P1̄,

6.9681(17) Å, b = 20.627(5) Å, c = 17.437(4) Å, β = 95.880(4)°, Z = 4), and {[Ag2(L8)(H2PO4)2]}n (7) (triclinic,

In addition, the luminescence and electrical conductance properties of compounds 1−6 and the host−guest chemistry
of compound 3 were investigated.
