Novel aggregation of bis(thiolato)-type cobalt(III) octahedra assisted by silver(I) ions: Structural interconversion by counter anions
The reaction of [Ni{Co(aet)(2)(en)}(2)](4+) (aet = 2-aminoeth-anethiolate) with Ag-I in the presence of ClO4- and NO3-anions gave a S-bridged (Co4Ag4I)-Ag-III octanuclear and a ((Co2Ag3I)-Ag-III)(n) polymeric complexes, respectively, which are interconvertible with each other by changing the counter anions.
