Diallylaminoarenes: a new class of versatile ligands for silver(i) that consistently lead to one-dimensional polymeric metallosupramolecular assembliesCCDC 940152 (6), 940153 (7), 940154 (8), 940155 (9), 940156 (10) and 940157 (11).

Ligands comprised of a diallylamino group attached to a phenyl, 2-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl, 2-thiazolyl and 2-quinolyl ring react with silver( i ) salts (perchlorate and/or triflate) to faithfully assemble into 1-D coordination polymers, regardless of variation in the number of additional nitrogen donors, the counterion and the coordination number (three to five) of the silver atoms.
