title: A novel organometallic columnar complex containing endohedral silver(I)-ethynediyl binding and exterior silver(I)-aromatic interaction.
abstract: Unprecedented eta 3 pi-donor behavior of the benzyltrimethy-lammonium ion is observed in the polymeric silver(I) complex [(PhCH2NMe3)Ag7(C2)(CF3CO2)6]n that comprises a columnar backbone constructed from the fusion of Ag8 square antiprisms each enclosing an acetylide dianion.
