Abstract

A cationic two-dimensional coordination polymer sustained by a [Ag₁₂S₁₂] cluster secondary building unit has been prepared from a stepwise solid-state reaction. This coordination polymer is capable of associating the anionic dye Congo Red, yielding a composite material that exhibits improved photocurrent and dielectric responses as compared to the pristine polymer.
