An anion-bridged, hydrogen bonded coordination polymer apparently adapts its symmetry to form a Z′ = 1 or 2 structure according to the hydrogen bonding demands of the anion, and in solution there is evidence for a discrete anion-binding coordination...

Anion binding by Ag(I) complexes of urea-substituted pyridyl ligands (2005)
Journal Article
Turner, D., Smith, B., Spencer, E., Goeta, A., Evans, I., Tocher, D., …Steed, J. (2005). Anion binding by Ag(I) complexes of urea-substituted pyridyl ligands. New Journal of Chemistry, 29(1), 90-98

A series of Ag(I) complexes of ureidopyridyl ligands 1 and 2 have been prepared from oxo-anion salts. In all cases the new materials contain the AgL2+ cation interacting with oxo-anions via the urea moiety. The complexes containing the para ligand 2:...

Modular nanometer-scale structuring of gel fibres by sequential self-organization (2005)
Journal Article
Applegarth, L., Clark, N., Richardson, A., Parker, A., Radosavljevic-Evans, I., Goeta, A., …Steed, J. (2005). Modular nanometer-scale structuring of gel fibres by sequential self-organization. Chemical Communications, 5423-5425

Ag(I) and Cu(II) complexes of a series of simple bis( urea) ligands form soft metallogels. X-ray crystallographic results suggests that the gels' structure is based on hydrogen bonding to counter anions and thus suggests a route to tunable gel rheolo...
