An unusual 3D 8-connected entangled coordination network with coexistence of self-threading, polythreading and interpenetration†
Abstract
An 8-connected entangled metal–organic framework has been synthesized and characterized, which not only represents the first entangled framework with coexistence of self-threading, polythreading and interpenetration, but also represents the highest connected topology presently known for self-threading and polythreading systems.
