Porous lamellar networks with flexible [CuxIy{cyclo-(MeAsO)4}] ribbons bridged by either π–π stacked terminal benzonitrile ligands (x = y = 2), rigid p-diaminobenzene spacers (x = y = 2) or ionic [Cs{cyclo-(MeAsO)4}2]+ sandwiches (x = 3, y = 4) may be constructed by self-assembly from CuI and (MeAsO)n in the presence of the respective structure-directing agents.
