The compound crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system with the space group C2/c. The X-ray crystallographic study of 1 shows a short Ag center dot center dot center dot Ag contact with a distance of 3.022 angstrom. The most striking feature of 1 is that it exhibits a 3D porous framework with 1D infinite channels, and complex 1 exhibits strong fluorescent emission bands in the solid state at room temperature. Moreover, atomically detailed simulations were used to assess the potential of the complex for H-2 storage applications.ChemistryInorganic and nuclear chemistryCrystallographyJournal Article1873-3719309627000015Q24608
