Two　new　organically　templated　silver　iodides,　namely　[(bmph)(Ag5I7)](n)　(1)　and　[(Hteda)(4)(Ag12I16)](n),　(2),　have　been　synthesized　with　bmph(2+)　and　teda　[bmph(2+)　=　1,6-bis(4-methylpyridinio)hexane,　Hteda　=　protonated　triethylenediamine]　as　structure-directing　agents.　Complex　1　consists　of　a　one-dimensional　polymer　that　can　be　described　as　edge-sharing　AgI4　tetrahedra,　whereas　2　is　the　first　example　of　a　three-dimensional　Ag/I　framework　based　on　(AgAg)-Ag-...　weak　interactions　and　an　organic　template.　Electrostatic　interactions　between　the　organic　countercations　and　inorganic　moieties　are　present　and　contribute　to　the　crystal　packing.　Both　compounds　have　been　further　characterized　by　IR　spectroscopy,　elemental　analysis,　TGA,　and　optical　limiting　measurements.
