Abstract
Self-assembly of 4,4'-bipyridine-2,2',6,6'-tetracarboxamide and its 1 : 1 silver(I) triflate complex was investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that intermolecular amide-amide hydrogen bonds control the crystal packing of the free base giving rise to infinite zig-zag tapes, whereas an octahedral coordination of the Ag(I) ion with the ligand dominates in the packing of the corresponding complex.
