Abstract

Organic anion template-controlled reactions of benzenepolycarboxylic acids with silver(I) salts resulted in two coordination polymers with distinct structural features based on the argentophilic interaction, one exhibiting a honeycomb layer formed by the fusion of macrocyclic Ag16 rings and the other furnishing the first example of a Ag tubular motif.
