Temperature- or guest-induced drastic single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations of a nanoporous coordination polymer

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Oct 19;127(41):14162-3. doi: 10.1021/ja054913a.

Abstract

Aside from a temperature-induced structural transformation, a new nanoporous coordination polymer [Ag6Cl(atz)4].OH.6H2O (Hatz = 3-amino-1,2,4,-triazole) comprised of interpenetrated Ag3(atz)2 coordination nets exhibits a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation of a 5-fold to 6-fold net interpenetration change triggered by guest desorption/absorption.
