A luminescent polymeric silver(I) coordination tubular helicate

A new polymeric silver(I) coordination polymer, {[Ag(tptb)(MeCN)]ClO4}n (1), (tptb = 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(2-pyrimidinylthiomethyl)benzene), was synthesized by self-assembly reaction of tptb and AgClO4, and structurally characterized to be a isolated, 1D tubular helicate. 1 is luminescent and displays an emissive maximum at 510 nm in the solid state at room temperature.
