Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon serves as an Ag+ sponge for in situ transformation from diamagnetic coordination polymers to paramagnetic radical cations.

Coordination polymers (CPs) are crucial for the design of tunable architectures and functional materials. Nevertheless, the application of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as ligands has been largely restricted to nitrogen-doped PAHs, whereas non-nitrogen heteroatom-doped PAHs remain scarcely explored. In this w...
