Crystal melting and vitrification of nitrile-based two-dimensional coordination polymer (CP) were studied. The crystal melts at 169 °C and has a wide liquid-state temperature window of over 110 °C. The crystalline state transformed to a glassy state by melt-quench or mechanical milling. The mechanic...
