Solution state coordination polymers featuring wormlike macroscopic structures and cage-polymer interconversions.
In the absence of coordinating solvents and anions, silver salts and triphosphines form viscous, thixotropic coordination polymers in solution, which aggregate into unusual wormlike macroscopic structures and undergo cage-polymer interconversions depending on the stoichiometry and presence of templating anions.
