The self‐assembly of 1,12‐dodecanedinitrile (ddn) with various silver salts (NO 3 − , PF 6 − , AsF 6 − , ClO 4 − ) afforded new polymeric coordination networks with the general formula [Ag(ddn) 2 ]X. All these species contain interpenetrating diamondoid nets showing interesting features: with X=NO 3 − the cationic [Ag(ddn) 2 ] + network exhibits the highest interpenetration (tenfold) ever found within diamondoid nets exclusively based on coordinative bonds. When X=PF 6 − or AsF 6 − an eightfold diamondoid network is obtained that shows an unusual [4+4] mode of interpenetration, instead of the “normal” set of eight nets equally translated along a principal axis of the adamantanoid cages. The polymeric species that forms with X=ClO 4 − is a fourfold interpenetrating diamondoid network; the lower degree of interpenetration in this case is related to the conformation assumed by the flexible ddn ligands.
