Further, the Ag6L4 cluster containing triflate was also found to form in the presence of nitrobenzene, toluene, and p-xylene. Interestingly, the presence of benzonitrile as guest exhibits reversal of anion selectivity that is perchlorate templated Ag6L4 while triflate templated Ag5L4. The guest exchange form the crystalline solid of Ag6L4 resulted in the solid-to-solid transformation to Ag5L4. ER -
