Abstract

Reaction of two tripodal ligands, 2,4,6-tris(4-((2-methyl-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (L111) and 1,3,5-tris(4-((2-methyl-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)benzene (L222), with AgSbF6 led to formation of two types (6,3) networks in one single crystal, of which one is three-fold Borromean topologically entangled while the other is independent, showing the same chirality and sandwiched Borromean stacking.
