Packing Principles of Thioether Derivatives of Triarylamine Silver Salts

Tris(4-methylthiophenyl)amine, 1, has been crystallized together with three silver salts, AgOTf (silver trifluoromethane sulfonate), AgClO 4, and AgSbF 6 . The resulting crystal structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. All three structures prove to have the same topological theme: their structures can be related to a double honeycomb pattern. In all cases, each silver ion is coordinated to at least three tris(4- methylthiophenyl)amine molecules.
