“…template assembly, ion-pair recognition, and anion functionality [11][12][13][14][15][16], since the (counter)anions have many features such as negative charge, size, wide range of geometry, coordinating ability, and solvent-and pH-dependence [7,[17][18][19][20][21][22]. Over the past decade, we have demonstrated significant roles for (counter)anions in the self-assembly and physicochemical properties of numerous coordination compounds [8,19,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Recently, we reported anion effects on storage utility in metallacyclodimeric silver(I) complexes with naphthalene-2,3-diyl-dipicolinate containing naphthyl moieties as aromatic walls [31].…”
