Interweaving 3D network with double helical tubes filled by 1D coordination polymer chains

The hydrothermal reaction of mellitic acid, 4,4'-bipydine, and Cu-(CH(3)COO)(2).H(2)O gave rise to a novel 3D supramolecular architecture interpenetrated by three types of coordination polymer motifs. Two independent {[CU(2)(mellitate)(4,4'-bpy)(H(2)O)(2)](2-)} 3D polymers incorporating helical substructures were interwoven into a 3D network with double-stranded helical tubes that host 1D linear polymers [Cu(4,4'-bpy)(H(2)O)4](2+)}(n).http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000224489100007&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Chemistry, Inorganic & NuclearSCI(E)87ARTICLE216525-65274
