An unprecedented nanoscale trilayered polythreading coordination array hierarchically formed from 2D square grid networks and induced by protonated 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane

Abstract

An unprecedented nanoscale trilayered coordination assembly hierarchically formed from 2D square grid networks by the reaction of Cd^II hydroxide with mixed ligands squarate and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, which also exhibits a novel polythreading topology of 2D⁽⁺⁾ + 2 × 2D⁽⁻⁾ → 2D.
