Square planar silver(I) complexes: A rare but increasingly observed stereochemistry for silver(I)

摘要: Abstract The square planar Ag(I) stereochemistry is generally acknowledged as rare, with only ∼2% of all reported silver complexes possessing this stereochemistry. Many researchers reporting such often mistakenly believe that their example one a handful previously examples. This despite the fact there are currently around 65 well characterised containing ions, about half which coordination polymers. In review, we critically examine each and draw attention to trends arise in formation. scope limited ‘traditional’ complexes. Inorganic extended mineral like structures, silver-π or silver-arene motifs not considered review.
