Organometallic Coordination Polymers Generated from Bent Bis(acetylenylphenyl)oxadiazole Ligands and Ag(I) Salts DongYu-Bin ZhangQiang WangLe MaJian-Ping HuangRu-Qi ShenDa-Zhong ChenDe-Zhan 2005 Two new bent oxadiazole bridging benzoacetylene ligands 2,5-bis(4-ethynylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (<b>L9</b>) and 2,5-bis(3-ethynylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (<b>L10</b>) were synthesized. The coordination chemistry of them with various inorganic Ag(I) salts has been investigated. Seven new coordination polymers were prepared by solution reactions and fully characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

In addition, the luminescent and electrical conductive properties of these new compounds were investigated.
