Structural diversity of supramolecular networks composed of 2,1,3-chalcogenadiazole silver( i ) complexes: the role of chalcogen bonding in molecular self–assembly

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate how bulky substituents affect the formation of chalcogen-bonded networks in silver(i) complexes.
• Synthesis of 2,1,3-chalcogenadiazoles with various bulky substituents at the C-4 position
• Characterization of crystal structures using X-ray diffraction
• Analysis of supramolecular networks formed through chalcogen bonding
• Chalcogen-bonded [Ch⋯N] 2 synthons were observed only with bulky substituents at C-4
• Molecular self-assembly was significantly enhanced by the presence of these substituents
• Distinct structural diversity in crystal formations was noted based on ligand modifications
