DOIAbstract
A variety of network structures have been prepared by transmetalation of a polymer {Na<sub>3</sub>[Na<sub>9</sub>(Cbdcp)<sub>6</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>18</sub>]}<sub><i>n</i></sub> (<b>1</b>) (Cbdcp = <i>N</i>-(4-carboxybenzyl)-(3,5-dicarboxyl)pyridinium) containing dodecahedral Na<sub>9</sub> aggregate secondary building units with Cu(II) by modulating the temperature, solvent, and pH. These complexes include a large, zwitterionic hexa-cuprometallocycle [Cu<sub>6</sub>(Cbdcp)<sub>6</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>18</sub>] (<b>2</b>) formed in H<sub>2</sub>O at room temperature, two three-dimensional polymers [Cu<sub>3</sub>(Cbdcp)<sub>2</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>]<sub><i>n</i></sub> (<b>3</b>) and {[Cu<sub>3</sub>(...
