Goodwin %J Physics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.1039/C3CC47032F %X 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. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6762v1
