Structural transformation of silver(i)–thiolate coordination polymer film at solid–liquid interfaces†
Abstract
We report that the ligand-exchange reaction between [Ag(o-SPhCO2H)]n deposited on a solid substrate and the free p-HSPhCOOH ligand in solution results in crystal transformation from [Ag(o-SPhCO2H)]n to [Ag(p-SPhCO2H)]n on the substrate. Structural analysis revealed a structural transformation between CPs with different topologies via ligand exchange.
