The Interplay Between Component Denticity and Flexibility Promotes the Formation of [Ag <sup>I</sup> ⋅⋅⋅Ag <sup>I</sup> ]‐stabilised Links and Knots
A subtle interplay between the flexibility of the 2,2'-bipyridyl-based diamine and the denticity of the coordination domain formed upon self-assembly enabled the formation of four distinct topologies stabilised by [Ag⋅⋅⋅Ag]<sup>2+</sup> pairs. The reactions utilising 2,6-diformylpyridine resulted in the formation of silver(I)-stabilised molecular tweezer, trefoil knot, and Solomon link. The 1,8-naphthyridine-based dialdehyde promoted the formation of [2]catenanes and trefoil knot, demonstrating very close Ag<sup>I</sup>⋅⋅⋅Ag<sup>I</sup> distances. Two of the studied assemblies demonstrated interesting luminescent properties in the solid state.
