Popis: Two silver-deficient tris(oxalato)chromate(III) coordination polymers, SrK0.5Ag0.5[Cr(C2O4)3] (1) and SrAg[Cr(C2O4)3]⋅6H2O (2) have been synthesized and fully characterized by elemental and TGA-DSC analyses, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. Salt 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic polar space group Fdd2, whereas 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. Compared to the well-known salt Ag3[Cr(C2O4)3]⋅3H2O with no silver deficiency, 1 and 2 can be seen as nanochanneled silver-deficient oxalatochromate(III) coordination polymers featuring silver deficiency values of 2.5 and 2.0, respectively. In 1, nanochannels host K+ and Ag+ cations, whereas in 2, they solely host hydrogen-bonded water molecules. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have been investigated in the temperature range 2–300 K. The decrease of χMT observed at low temperatures for 1 and 2 revealed weak antiferromagnetic interactions in the two compounds.
