This paper describes the synthesis and characterization, through elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (when solubility permits), of a series of compounds that illustrate the coordinative and structural diversity achievable with the HAmDHotaz ligand. Five silver clusters containing the [Ag8(AmDHotaz)4]4+ nucleus were structurally analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and were found to exhibit solvomorphism. The compositions of these are [Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)3(MeOH)(H2O)](NO3)·MeOH·7.5H2O (1), {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)3(H2O)2](NO3)·9.5(H2O)}n (2), {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)3(H2O)2](NO3)·11.5(H2O)}n (2a), {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)2(H2O)2](NO3)(OH)·6H2O}n (3), and {[Ag8(AmDHotaz)4(NO3)2(H2O)](NO3)(OH)·4.5H2O}n (3a). Argentophilic interactions are present in each of the octanuclear structures, where Ag···Ag distances range from 2.828(2) to 2.986(1) Å. These distances are influenced by crystal packing, determined by the counterion and solvent molecules in the structure. In the solvatomorphs, solvent molecules were observed to be disordered. Various hydrogen-bonding interactions, such as N–H···O–N, O–H···O, N–H···O═C, C–H···O–N, and π–π stacking interactions, contribute to the crystal packing. The influence of these weak interactions on the crystal packing was further analyzed using DFT calculations and Bader’s theory of atoms-in-molecules, with a focus on argentophilic interactions and Ag···S interactions PB ACS SN 0020-1669 YR 2024 FD 2024-05-07 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/34874 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/34874 LA eng NO Inorg.
