Summary:The molecular framework Ag(tcm) (tcm − = tricyanomethanide) expands continuously in two orthogonal directions under hydrostatic compression. The first of its kind, this negative area compressibility behaviour arises from the flattening of honeycomb-like layers during rapid pressure-driven collapse of the interlayer separation. Under hydrostatic pressure, crystals of silver tricyanomethanide actually expand in two orthogonal directions.
