Two new silver(I) coordination polymers have been constructed from the flexible H3btc and
bridging bpy ligands under different conditions. The results indicate that different coordination modes play a vital role in the assembly of supramolecular architectures. The new polymers represent the first example of 1D-1D parallel interpenetrated tubular chains in a coordination polymer, and a double-ladder structure, in which an infinite winding water chain has been identified
