Summary.
The self-assembly of Ag[BF4] with trans-azobenzene in dichloromethane yields a new coordination polymer ([Ag(μ-trans-azobenzene)H2O][BF4])n which was characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal consists of 1-D zigzag cationic chains made up from [Ag(H2O)]+ units linked by trans-azobenzene bridges and BF− 4 anions. Hydrogen bonding interactions between the chains and BF− 4 anions occur via intermolecular C*H⋯F and O*H⋯F contacts, and the crystal displays a 2-D supramolecular structure.
