A porous coordination architecture assembled by silver triflate and 9,10-bis(3,5-dicyano-1-phenyl)anthracene and its gas adsorption profile

We report a crystal structure and guest uptake measurements of a 2D coordination polymer, 3·2(AgOTf)·2(acetone) which has been assembled by silver triflate and 9,10-bis(3,5-dicyano-1-phenyl)anthracene (3). When the as-prepared sample was evacuated, the 3·2(AgOTf) framework retains its original structure with a void space into which guest molecules such as acetone and benzene can be restored.
