Weave done it ! The reaction of ligands with binding sites for anions and metal ions with silver nitrate has led to the formation of a series of Borromean weave coordination polymers (each network is color coded in the picture). These possess anion‐binding and neutral guest inclusion compartments that are occupied by various solvent molecules.
