Lengthening of linking bipyridyl ligands in interlocking copper(I)-heterocycle adamantoid arrays increases the volume of the adamantoid cages and consequently the number of observed interpenetrating networks: factors influencing the observed structures of these interpenetrating complexes are described in the context of the structure of {[Cu-(bpe)2]BF4}n [bpe = 1,2-trans-(4-pyridyl)ethene].
