Abstract

Abstract In a series of nine silver(I) complexes synthesized with ethynyl-functionalized condensed-ring benzenoid aromatics, the terminal ethynide group is invariably inserted into an argentophilic Ag_n (n = 4-5) basket, leading to the generation of coordination chains or multinuclear metallocycles via silver-aromatic interaction and strong face-to-face aromatic π-π stacking interaction. The coordination preferences of the ethynide ligand with respect to the size of the aromatic nucleus proved to be dominant factors in directing the construction of multi-dimensional organosilver(I) networks, which are consolidated by weak intermolecular interactions in supramolecular assembly.
