Coordination Framework of [Tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrinato]Sn(IV) Complex with Ag(I) Toluenesulfonate

A metalloporphyrin-based coordination framework material was synthesized by the reaction of Sn(OH)₂(TPyP) complex (TPyP = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrinato dianion) with Ag(OTs) (OTs = p-toluenesulfonato monoanion), and thoroughly characterized using various analytic techniques including X-ray crystallography. The X-ray crystal structural analysis revealed that peripheral coordination of pyridyl nitrogen with Ag(I) ions creates a two-dimensional network. This framework contains two different types of pore channels, with approximate edge dimensions of 21.6 × 15.2 Å and 13.7 × 7.11 Å, respectively.
