Coordination polymers with macrocyclic cages and pockets within their backbones.
The reaction between the flexible ligand (1,4-bis(pyridine-2-yl-methanethio)benzene) and Ag+ produces two novel coordination polymers with macrocyclic cages or pockets contained within their backbones, depending upon the ratio of starting materials.
