The X-ray crystal structures of (NH4)2(15-crown-5)3[Cu(mnt)2] (1) and (NH4)2(benzo-15-crown-5)4- [Cu(mnt)2]·0.5H2O (2) were determined. Two single crystals are composed of distinct structures of ammonium-crown ether supramolecular cation and [Cu(mnt)2]2? anion. The triple-decker dication in complex 1 and a sandwich dimmer in complex 2 were observed. X-Band EPR studies on the single crystals of both complex 1 and complex 2 have been carried out at room temperature, which revealed that complex 2 showed a perfect hyperfine structure of Cu whereas that of complex 1 could not be observed. The principal values and direction cosines of the principal axes of the g and A tensors were computed by a least-squares fitting procedure. The spin density of Cu(II) was estimated according to the principal values of the A tensors and compared well with the results calculated based on DFT method.

A one-dimensional (1D) Z conformation coordination polymer, [Ag(bix)(NO3)(H2O)]n was obtained by the reaction between AgNO3 and flexible ligand of 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene under hydrothermal conditions. It crystallizes in triclinic with space group P1. The crystallographic data of the compound are: a=0.777 1(2) nm, b=1.043 4(3) nm, c=1.082 7(3) nm, α=71.403(4)°, β=80.946(5)°, γ=88.794(4)°. The 1D chainlike structure was connected by π-π interaction between phenyl rings, leading to a 2D layered network. The lattice water and the NO3- anions were involved between the layers, therefore the 2D layered structure further extended to an intricate 3D framework. CCDC: 257100.
