We investigated a mechanism of crystal melting and crystallization behavior of a two-dimensional coordination polymer [Ag2(L1)­(CF3SO3)2] (1, L1 = 4,4′-biphenyldicarbonitrile) upon heating-cooling processes. The crystal showed melting at 282 °C, and the following gentle cooling induced the abrupt cr...
