title: Synthesis and characterization of a trans-1 hexakis-fullerene linker that forms crystalline polymers with silver salts.
abstract: A new flexible hexakis-fullerene adduct with two bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)malonate groups located at trans-1 positions was synthesized. Via reaction with Ag(PF6) under two different conditions, two new 1D coordination polymers were obtained; under a nitrogen atmosphere, the silver ions are connected by argentophilic interactions but under an ambient atmosphere, the silver ions exhibit no interaction between them but coordination to the (H2PO4)(-) ions.
