Axial extension of metal string complexes: Crystal structure of {Ni-3(dpa)(4)[Ag(CN)(2)](2)}
A novel complex, Ni-3(dpa)(4)[Ag(CN)(2)](2) (1), was synthesized and structurally characterized. The first example of metal string complex with axial metallic ligand shows length of 20.5 Angstrom. Axial [Ag(CN)(2)](-) ligands still remain two vacant sites, which potential possibly form longer string complex.
