The silver atoms are held together by a combination of bridging alkynyl groups (not shown) and argentophilic Ag⋅⋅⋅Ag interactions. In the absence of the templating anion insoluble polymeric materials are obtained. Citing Literature Volume40, Issue18September 17, 2001Pages 3464-3467 RelatedInformation
