Abstract

The reaction of AgCF₃CO₂ with nitrilotriacetate (NTA) yields the three-dimensional silver(i) coordination polymer {Ag₃[N(CH₂COO)₃]}_n 1 which was characterized by means of elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction. The single crystal structure shows that the NTA^3– anions act as unusual heptadentate 13-coordination agents and the silver(i) atoms exhibit various coordination numbers in the range 3–6.
