	abstract = {Ag(I) is used to form a π-stacked metal-org. solid that exhibits remarkably high elec. cond.  The solid undergoes a single-crystal-to-single-crystal [2+2] photodimerization to generate a 1D coordination polymer with over 40\% higher cond.  The Ag(I) complex represents the first example of an increase in cond. resulting from a [2+2] photodimerization.  D. of states calcns. show a higher contribution from Ag(I) ions to the valence band in the photodimerized solid, supporting the increase in cond. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {Principles of crystal engineering have been applied toward the construction of supramol. assemblies between an acid-functionalized tetraphenylethylene deriv. and three different bis(pyridine)s [4,4{\textquoteright}-bis(pyridyl)ethylene, 4,4{\textquoteright}-bis(pyridyl)ethane, and 4,4{\textquoteright}-bipyridine].  Each assembly was structurally characterized, and charge transfer interactions within each sample were visually apparent.  Quantum chem. calcns. were used to det. crystal band structure and band gap magnitude, and elec. properties of the materials were measured using conducting probe at. force microscopy (CP-AFM).  The crystals displayed charge-carrier capability, and the magnitude of semicond. varied systematically as a function of conjugation in the bis(pyridine) component.  Crystals incorporating 4,4{\textquoteright}-bis(pyridyl)ethylene and 4,4{\textquoteright}-bipyridine displayed conductivities comparable to those of established org. semiconductors (μeff = 0.38 and 1.7 {\texttimes} 10-2 cm2/V{\textperiodcentered}s, resp.).

	abstract = {Metallogels form from Cu(II) ions and tetratopic ligand rctt-1,2-bis(3-pyridyl)-3,4-bis(4-pyridyl)cyclobutane.  The tetrapyridyl cyclobutane was synthesized in the org. solid state.  The gel forms with a variety of counteranions and gels water.  The hydrogel is thixotropic and is composed of nanoscale metal-org. particles (NMOPs), a high surface area of which likely accounts for the gelation of the polar aq. medium.  A shear stress profile of the thixotropic hydrogel gave a yield value of 8.33 Pa.  A novel combination of at. force microscopy (AFM) and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy (STXM) is used to assess the densities of individual NMOPs.  A d. of 1.37 g/cm3 was detd.  A single-crystal x-ray diffraction study demonstrates the ability of the unsym. cyclobutane 3,4{\textquoteright}-tpcb to self-assemble with Cu(II) ions in [Cu2(hfac)4(3,4{\textquoteright}-tpcb)]$\infty$ (hfac is hexafluoroacetylacetonate) to form a solvated 1-dimensional coordination polymer.
