A remarkable Co-III. (MnAgI)-Ag-II heterometallic aggregate with L-cysteinate that accommodates chiral cobalt(III) octahedra in a 1D channel
Treatment of an aqueous solution of Delta(L)-[Co(L-Hcys-N,S)-(en)21(CI04)2 (L-cys = L-cysteinate) with AgNO3 under a neutral condition, followed by the addition of excess Mn(NO3)2, led to the formation of a (CoMnAgI)-Mn-III-Ag-II coordination polymer, {(Delta(L))(.5)-[Ag2Mn3(NO3)(2)(H2O)(10){Co(L-cys-N,S)(en)(2)}(5)](NO3)( 6.5)-(ClO4)(4.5)}(n) (1). The crystal structure of 1, which accommodates Delta(L)-[CO(L-cys-N,S)(en)(2)](+) molecules in a 1D channel, was determined by X-ray crystallography.
