The synthesis and characterization of the isolated, infinite tubular coordination polymers {[Ag(cis-tach)]ClO4}(infinity) (1), {[Ag(transtach)]ClO4}(infinity) (2) and {[Ag(cis-tach)]BF4}(infinity) (3) has been achieved with the isomers cis, cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane and cis,trans-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane. Each new material has been fully characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, IR and elemental analysis. Compounds 1-3 form definite channels by the trigonal planar coordination of silver(l) metal centres to rigid, aliphatic triamino ligands, forming 4(2) (.) 6 topological networks.
