The occurrence of interpenetrated three-dimensional networks has been systematically investigated

by the analysis of the crystallographic structural databases, using the program package TOPOS. After

our previous reports on interpenetration observed in valence-bonded MOFs, inorganic arrays and

hydrogen-bonded organic supramolecular architectures, in this paper we have focused our research on

the interpenetrated 3D networks based on hydrogen-bonded metal–organic molecular (0D) and

polymeric (1D and 2D) complexes from the Cambridge Structural Database. The current interest

for the crystal engineering of new functional materials has prompted many research groups to adopt

synthetic strategies implying the use of molecular metal complexes (0D) with suitably exo-oriented

hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor groups for the assembly of extended networks. With regard to this

we have examined 3D hydrogen-bonded supramolecular arrays formed by finite and infinite motifs of

lower dimensionality, analyzing their topologies and looking for their entanglements. We have

extracted a comprehensive list including 135 different motifs (71 assembled from 0D, 43 from 1D and

21 from 2D metal–organic motifs) showing the phenomenon of interpenetration (about two thirds not

detected in the original papers). These hydrogen-bonded networks include species assembled by one or

more building blocks, that are classified within the previously introduced Classes of interpenetration. It

is observed that the maximum interpenetration degree is limited to 5-fold and the main (overall)

topology is 412.63-pcu. An analysis of the possible relationships between the dimensionality of the

building blocks and the resulting network connectivity and topology, and of some factors determining

the interpenetration is also attempted, together with a comparison of the present results with those

for other families of interpenetrated materials.

Introduction

The explosive growth of the investigations focused in these years

on new molecule-based functional materials has produced

a plethora of extended architectures in the field of crystal engi-

neering of metal–organic and inorganic networks supported

by coordinative/valence bonds, as well as in the design of

supramolecular arrays of organic and metal–organic molecules

sustained by hydrogen bonds or other weak interactions.1 Many

of these species exhibit the intriguing feature of interpenetration

or other types of entanglements.2 Since the properties of these

materials can result not only from their molecular structures but

also from the nature of the extended originating architectures,

i.e. from the topology of the individual networks as well as from

the way in which the individual nets are multiply entangled (the

‘‘topology of interpenetration’’),2 we have planned a systematic

investigation of the interpenetration phenomena in 3D networks,

using the program package TOPOS.3 We have already described

our studies on interpenetration in metal–organic (MOFs) and

inorganic networks, and in supramolecular arrays formed by

hydrogen-bonded organic molecules.4 We report here the

comprehensive results of our analysis of interpenetration in

metal–organic hydrogen-bonded 3D arrays from the Cambridge

Structural Database (CSD, version 5.29 of November 2007).

These species include networks both assembled from molecular

complexes (0D) and from polymeric 1D and 2D metal–organic

species; in all cases the hydrogen bonds increase the dimension-

ality of the constituent motifs to 3D networks.

The self-assembly of metal complexes possessing ligands with

exo-oriented functionalities suitable for hydrogen bonding is

a subject of great current interest in the crystal engineering of

functional supermolecules. New synthetic strategies have been

investigated in a number of recent papers in an attempt to extend

to metal–organic tectons the well established criteria for the

construction of organic hydrogen-bonded supramolecular

arrays. As previously observed,5 the contemporary presence of

both robust coordinative bonds and flexible hydrogen bond

bridges can result in additional possibilities in the engineering

of periodic supermolecules.

The analysis and classification of 3D hydrogen-bonded metal–

organic systems follow the lines previously adopted in our study

of interpenetrated 3D hydrogen-bonded organic networks.

Moreover, in two recent papers the same type of topological

Page 2: Interpenetrated three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks ... · Interpenetrated three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks from metal–organic molecular and one- or two-dimensional

analysis with TOPOS has been applied to single (i.e. non-inter-

penetrated) hydrogen-bonded frameworks in molecular organic

(1777 Refcodes) and metal–organic crystals (674 Refcodes).6 We

have thus the possibility of useful comparisons of the trends in

interpenetrated and non-interpenetrated networks based on

building blocks of similar type, with similar intermolecular

interactions.

The use of the ‘‘network approach’’ or topological approach to

crystal chemistry has allowed also in this case an useful analysis

of the structures via a simplification to schematized nets.

However, as already observed,4c the topological rationalization

of hydrogen-bonded frames is more difficult than that of MOFs

because the nodes and spacers are usually more ambiguous to

select [for instance, we are often faced with the alternative choice

of a single molecular complex (tecton) or of an oligomeric group

(synthon) as the node]. This difficulty is particularly evident

when polymeric 1D or 2D metal–organic motifs are involved,

where the resulting 3D interpenetrated nets can present

additional nodes arising from the formation of the hydrogen

bond bridges. Except for papers explicitly devoted to the crystal

engineering of hydrogen-bonded networks based on metal–

organic molecular tectons, scarce attention has been generally

devoted to the supramolecular interactions and to net formation

in these species: the topology is often ignored and the entangle-

ment and interpenetration features often overlooked (only about

one third of the structures described in this paper have been

explicitly recognized as interpenetrated).

Analysis of the crystal structures with TOPOS

We have recovered the information on metal–organic crystal

structures from the Cambridge Structural Database (release 5.29,

November 2007) using the program package TOPOS. Only

strong or moderately strong hydrogen bonds7 were considered.

The structures with completely or partially undetermined

hydrogens were studied as well. To determine the intermolecular

hydrogen bonds X–H/A (intramolecular hydrogen bonds are

irrelevant to our topological analysis) we have used the same

geometrical approach adopted in the previous papers on 3D

single and interpenetrated networks of hydrogen-bonded organic

molecules4c,6a and 3D single networks of hydrogen-bonded

metal–organic molecular species.6b The automatic calculation of

hydrogen bonds was carried out with the geometrical criteria that

are here briefly summarized: in a bridge X–H/A (X]N, O;

A]N, O, F) the H/A contact is assumed to be a hydrogen bond

if (i) d(H/A) # 2.5 A; (ii) d(X/A) # 3.5 A; (iii) the X–H/A

angle $ 120� (three- and four-centered, symmetrical and reso-

nance hydrogen bonds can be recognized as well). If the

hydrogen atoms were not allocated, only condition (ii) was

applied. In all cases we have used additional geometrical condi-

tions that included the parameters of Voronoi–Dirichlet

polyhedra. Further details on the criteria adopted can be found

in our previous paper.4c

The dimensionality of the extended frameworks formed

by hydrogen bonds in the case of 0D metal–organic species or

by valence bonds plus hydrogen bonds in the case of polymeric

1D and 2D metal–organic motifs was ascertained using the ADS

program of the TOPOS package. We consider here crystal

structures that contain finite or polymeric metal–organic species

only (except for some cases containing also inorganic counter-

anions and guest solvents). Since often the location of solvent

(not coordinated) water molecules is poorly determined, we

discarded cases where such molecules take part in the hydrogen-

bonded network. 135 3D interpenetrating arrays were revealed,

71 assembled from 0D, 43 from 1D and 21 from 2D metal–

organic motifs (Tables 1 and 2).

The assignment of topology to molecular hydrogen-bonded

3D frameworks was done in the same way as in the previous

papers on hydrogen-bonded frames.4c,6 Any molecular metal–

organic hydrogen-bonded framework was reduced to its under-

lying net whose nodes symbolize molecular centers of gravity and

their coordination numbers indicate to how many molecular

units a given molecule is hydrogen-bonded. We refer to this

description of topology as standard. However, as in organic

frames, the nodes can be also ascribed to supramolecular ‘ring’

synthons (see below). The alternative descriptions of topology

(where possible) are also given in Table 1.

The topology of a hydrogen-bonded framework formed by

polymeric species (1D or 2D) is more difficult to describe. To this

end, interatomic bonds responsible for periodicity within

a polymeric unit were properly cut in order to treat it formally as

an ensemble of finite fragments. Thus, when assigning topology

for a single 3D net, it was considered as built up from molecular-

like fragments connected to each other by both hydrogen bonds

and ‘cut’ bonds. This treatment gives the possibility to apply to

these species the same methodology as for molecular frames. In

most cases, the nodes of a net correspond to metal atoms or both

metal atoms and ligands. To illustrate this, let us consider the

crystal structure UO2(m-F)2(isonicotinic acid) [ASEFUZ] that

consists of chains extending along [100]. The periodicity within

a chain is determined by the U–F bonds of the double bridges

while isonicotinic acid is a ‘dangling’ ligand responsible for

hydrogen bonding between chains (Fig. 1). By cutting U–F

bonds, we get molecular units [UO2F2(isonicotinic acid)] that are

connected to four others by both hydrogen bonds and ‘cut’ U–F

bonds forming a framework with diamondoid topology (66-dia).

However, if we consider the U atoms and the isonicotinic acid

ligand as distinct 3-connected nodes, we get 103-ths topology

(Fig. 1). This example demonstrates some ambiguity in the

topological description of hydrogen-bonded frameworks formed

by polymeric species but let us emphasize that all possible ways

of assigning topology are interrelated and, for instance, the

relationship between 66-dia and 103-ths net was discussed a long

time ago.8 Indeed, the description for these 1D/2D species may

‘‘follow some intuition’’ because there is no unique way of cutting

a polymeric unit.

A similar approach is possible also in the case of 2D polymeric

layers. However, the choice to cut the bonds in the polymeric

species to produce pseudo-0D motifs, then proceeding with

the standard representation, is not always possible (e.g. when the

mid-points of the ligands are involved in hydrogen bonding) so

that ad hoc solutions are needed. A possible one is that used

for the isomorphic series [M(squarato)2(H2O)2][1,3-bis(4-pyr-

idinium)propane)] (KEZQEM etc.): we consider in these cases as

nodes, besides the metals, also all the ligands (coordinatively- or

hydrogen-bonded, see Fig. 2). It must be clear that whatsoever

net description we choose the kind of interpenetration (class and

degree, see below) is invariant to the choice of the net, but our

networks have been carried out by strict use of computer

algorithms, an approach which leads to finding out all the cases

in spite of structural complexity and which avoids faults and

misses of the traditional human analysis. To assign unambigu-

ously the ‘topology of interpenetration’ we use moreover

a number of previously proposed descriptors to classify the

interpenetration patterns.4

Results

The results of the analysis are listed in Table 1 for the molecular

metal–organic building blocks (0D) and in Table 2 for the

polymeric species (1D and 2D), resulting in a total number of 135

different interpenetrating 3D arrays. These species are reported

in CSD with a greater number of entries since different Refcodes

are attributed in CSD to multiple crystal structure determina-

tions (e.g., KUSGEK, KUSGEK10 in Table 1). The columns of

Tables 1 and 2 report, besides the Refcode, the chemical formula

and the space group, the following information, similar to those

used in the previous paper on interpenetrated 3D hydrogen-

bonded organic frameworks:4c

(i) TYPE (NODE): the AA notation means that there is only

one type of motif (0D, 1D or 2D) that extends via hydrogen

bonds to give 3D interpenetrated frames (the same notation

holds when the motif is present in more than one crystallo-

graphically independent position). With AB (or AB0) we indicate

that besides the basic motif A there is a second molecular species

(B0 if neutral, and B if charged, usually an anion) involved in the

network (solvent molecules are not included). Note, however,

that these symbols do not give the actual ratio of the compo-

nents. The networks nodes, when necessary, are also specified;

i.e., with TYPE (NODE) AB(A) or AB0(A) the nodes are only in

the A moiety, while with AB(AB) and similar notations the nodes

are placed both in A and in B. A few cases with three types of

components are also observed, like AB0C(A) (see Table 2).

(ii) NET TOPOLOGY (and SUBNET in Table 2): we give,

also in this paper, the three-letter symbol of the net, proposed by

M. O’Keeffe, that can be retrieved from the RCSR database

(Reticular Chemistry Structure Resource, http://rcsr.anu.edu.au/).

Four nets found here are not listed in RCSR, but two (sqc27,

sqc69) were found in the EPINET database11a (Euclidean

Patterns in Non-Euclidean Tilings, http://epinet.anu.edu.au/,

names starting with sqc) and two (tcj-6,6-Cccm, stb-4,4-P2/c) in

the recent lists produced by Blatov and Proserpio.11b,c Tables 1

and 2 include also five new nets with complex topologies that

have been called new1, new2. new5. For their classification in

the tables and text we have used the corresponding Schlafli

symbol before the symbol new1, new2. and so on.

The column SUBNET in Table 2 reports the type of motif that

generates the 3D interpenetrated network via hydrogen bonds,

i.e. the type of 1D chain or the topology of the 2D layer (see

Fig. 3 and 4).

(iii) Z/Class/Symmetry: the degree of interpenetration Z (the

total number of 3D nets in the structure)4 and the class of

interpenetration4 are reported. The column Symmetry gives the

interpenetration vectors (A) and/or the symmetry operations that

relate equivalent interpenetrating nets.

(iv) HBRI (H-bond ratio index, in Table 1): this parameter

was introduced in our study on the interpenetrated 3D

works (with the abbreviations used in Table 2). From top: linear (Lin),

hydrogen-bonded organic networks4c and gives the ratio (No. of

total effective hydrogen bonds per asymmetric unit/No. of

theoretical single bonds required by the connectivity of the

nodes). As already pointed out, it depends on the choice of

the nodes and can be considered as an index of the stability of the

framework (i.e. values >1 are due to the presence of multiple

hydrogen-bond bridges joining the different metal–organic

complexes). Moreover, in homomolecular species (type AA) the

requirement of a balance between the number of hydrogen-bond

donor and acceptor groups in the building block can lead only to

an even number of hydrogen bonds (in order to achieve an exact

match HBRI ¼ 1)12 and, therefore, favours even node connec-

tivities,6 while with odd connectivity the values of HBRI should

be >1.

(v) NOTE: we have examined all the original papers reporting

the 135 interpenetrated structures and have classified them with

the letters: (a) when the interpenetration was not recognized

(87 cases), (b) when the 3D hydrogen-bonded net was not

detected (58 cases) and (c) when the connectivity and/or topology

of the net were wrongly assigned and/or some hydrogen bonds

were missed (only 2 cases). As already mentioned, many of these

investigations are explicitly devoted to the crystal engineering of

supramolecular architectures starting from molecular metal–

organic complexes and, therefore, the majority of these papers

give a correct description of the nets or a possible alternative

description, on the basis of a different choice of the nodes. In

many papers, on the other hand, the attention is exclusively

This journal is ª The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008

devoted to the valence-bonded units and the supramolecular

array is neglected.

(vi) SYNTHON: this column reports some extra information

concerning the presence of a certain supramolecular ‘‘ring syn-

thon’’,13 labelled as in the Fig. 5 (I–XIII). When a ‘‘ring synthon’’

gives rise to a ‘‘ring synthon net’’ the alternative topology is also

indicated. With ‘‘ring synthon net’’ we mean that the nodes of

this net are located at the centers of the supramolecular synthons.

This demonstrates that some arbitrariness is unavoidable in the

topology assignment of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular nets.

It must be stressed, however, that the topologies of the ‘‘stan-

dard’’ net and the corresponding ‘‘ring synthon net’’ are rigor-

ously interrelated.6a Moreover, this alternative choice does not

modify the kind of interpenetration (class and degree). Examples

containing more then one type of synthons are also present.

General statistics of the framework topologies andinterpenetration descriptors

Out of the 135 examples observed we can first divide them by the

nature of the basic constituent motifs: 0D (coordination

compounds) and 1D/2D (chain/layer coordination polymers).

The distribution is approximately 1:1 (exactly 52.6%: 47.4%).

Further we give for each type also the distribution of cases

containing a single (AA) or different (AB) chemical nodes

(see Fig. 6, left) and we can observe that there is no particular

preference (56%:44% for AA:AB). Looking in more detail to the

relationship between connectivity and node types (AA or AB) we

have the distribution shown in Fig. 6 (right).

It can be useful also to analyse the node connectivity of the

3D hydrogen-bonded nets vs. the dimensionality of the basic

constituent motifs (see Fig. 7). We can see that for low connec-

tivity (up to 4-c) the 0D motifs are preferred with respect to

the polymeric 1D/2D species (approximately 2.2: 1) while for

connectivity higher than 4 the reverse behaviour is observed

(approximately 1: 1.6).

The network topologies are distributed as shown in Fig. 8

(left). The most frequent topology is 412.63-pcu (28.9%) followed

by 66-dia (23.7%). Interestingly, this results comes out from the

fact that 412.63-pcu is very common in polymeric 1D/2D species

(27/64 ¼ 42.2%); on the other hand 66-dia is dominant in the 0D

species (26/71 ¼ 36.6%), as illustrated in Fig. 8 (right). Evidently,

the presence of extended coordinative chain or layer motifs

forces the outcome of certain preferred net topologies.

These interpenetrating nets mainly possess common topolo-

gies; nevertheless some cases with quite rare topologies have also

been observed (see e.g. Fig. 9), as well as five examples of

completely new ones. There are 21 and 16 distinct topologies for

0D and 1D/2D species, respectively, six of them (cds, dia, dmp,

pcu, srs, ths) are common for the two samples.

For the large majority of the nets the value of the degree of

interpenetration Z is equal to 2 (see Fig. 10) and the classes

of interpenetration are either Ia or IIa. The maximum value for

Z /it> is 5 in NABYOF, with the sqc69 topology.

engineering of extended arrays. They have been therefore widely

investigated for this purpose and the papers reporting these

studies deserve great attention to the supramolecular architec-

tures, so that generally the topologies and entanglements are

correctly described. Their interactions and the resulting supra-

molecular nets (single and interpenetrated) are expected to be

similar to those for organic molecules because the metal atoms

are essentially screened by the organic ligands and, as a result, the

patterns of intermolecular contacts are close to those formed by

organic molecules.14 It is worth thus a more strict comparison of

hydrogen-bonded 3D single and interpenetrated nets, based on

molecular organic and metal–organic units (see Fig. 11). For

a correct comparison only the AA type is considered, i.e. there is

only one type of 0D motif that extends via hydrogen bonds to

give 3D interpenetrated frames

With respect to connectivity, major differences in trends are

observed between hydrogen-bonded frameworks and MOFs.

same. The tendency to form close packing can explain the

preference in hydrogen-bonded molecular nets for topologies

with high connectivity (6-c, 8-c), unusual in the rather porous

MOFs, where there are different packing trends mainly directed

by the stereochemical requirements of the nodal building blocks

(dominated by the tetrahedral and octahedral coordinations).

Checking for porosity in the interpenetrated molecular metal–

organic structures here described we have found that all of them

are really dense (non-porous). So we may conclude that, what-

ever the overall network type, hydrogen bonds do not signifi-

cantly influence the degree of space-filling (for a majority of

crystals). The observed decrease of the preferred net connectivity

on passing from the single hydrogen-bonded molecular frames

(6-c) to the interpenetrated ones (4-c) can reflect possible alter-

native arrangements of a flexible hydrogen bond system, even-

tually accompanied by an increase of the HBRI. For instance,

considering a body-centered sphere packing, alternative orien-

tations of the main interactions could result in a single 424.64-bcu,

in a 2-fold 412.63-pcu network or even 2-fold 42.84 lvt net (Fig. 12).

As for the 3D network topology distribution, this is more

difficult to be rationalized. The most frequent topology (though

with rather different percentages) is 66-dia in all but one family (it

is 412.63-pcu in single metal–organic nets).6b Still the differences

can be related to the underlying fact that the structures of

molecular species are mainly controlled by packing requirements

while those of MOFs by stereochemical requirements.6b, 16 It was

suggested16 that the topological type for MOFs mainly depends

on the stereochemistry of the metal-containing nodes (very

frequently tetrahedral and octahedral coordinations). Thus,

66-dia and 412.63-pcu (in this order) are the two main topologies in

MOFs. Surprisingly, the same is true also for organic single

frameworks. In contrast to this, in hydrogen-bonded metal–

organic single frames the tendency of ligands to saturate all

possible hydrogen bonds and to form an efficient spatial packing

of molecules leads to the preference of highly connected 6-c and

8-c topologies. On the other hand, the observed decrease of

connectivity in interpenetrated metal–organic frameworks turns

again the preferred topology to 66-dia, followed by 412.63-pcu.

Among the interpenetrated 3-connected nets in Table 1

(8 cases), besides the examples of the more usual 103-srs and

103-ths topologies, there are two cases belonging to the rare

103-utp topology, namely FIZZIY (3-fold) and CABFIV (4-fold).

The second one is particularly interesting: it is comprised of

tris(chelate) Co(Hbiim)3 complexes (Hbiim ¼ monoanion of

2,20-biimidazole) that are hydrogen-bonded to three adjacent

similar units as shown in Fig. 13. A schematized single net and

the 4-fold interpenetrated array are also shown in the same

Figure. Uncommon is also the class of interpenetration (IIIa), i.e.

the four nets are generated by translation plus rotation about

2-fold axis.

Within the species from 0D metal–organic complexes 66-dia is

the dominant topology (showing a maximum Z value of 4).

Particularly interesting, because obtained in the proper context

of crystal engineering, is a family based on the use of cubane-like

M4(OH)4(CO)12 complexes as nodes and hydrogen-bond

acceptor guests as spacers, giving n-fold (n ¼ 2–4) inter-

penetrated 66-dia arrays. The clathrates of M4(OH)4(CO)12 (M ¼Mn, Re) have been extensively studied by Zaworotko and

coworkers.9 They found some correlation between the length of

the bridging clathrate molecule and the degree of interpenetra-

tion (see Fig. 14): the longer 4,40-bipyridine (PEHKIW/10,

derived 66-dia net of approximately 15 A). Given the similar

values of the edge lengths in the 2- and 3-fold interpenetrated

cases (ca. 11–12 A), it is difficult to find the driving force origi-

nating the rare 3-fold interpenetration (Class IIa, with the nets

related by a three-fold axis) in KUSGEK/10 and ZEBGOC.

Note that this is the second example known of this interpene-

tration pattern that was first theoretically derived in 197617 and

later observed only in the MOF Cu(2,7-diazapyrene)2PF6

MOFs.4a Interestingly 2-fold 66-dia are formed also when the

clathrate molecule is able to form only OH/p interactions,

keeping the edge length within 10–12 A.

Many examples exhibit mixed connectivities. One of these is

remarkable, i.e. the 5-fold interpenetrated NABYOF, [Ag(iso-

nicotinamide)2]BF4, type AB(AB), shown in Fig. 15. The

(42.6)2(44.62.88.10)-ant topology reported in Table 1 are unique;

indeed we have found with TOPOS TTO collection3 many

examples of this topology in valence-bonded coordination

polymers (AHOJUC, AHOKAJ, HECQUB, SALRON,

UGIGAS01, WOHYOH, WOHYOH01, WOHYUN, XIQHIO)

Networks from polymeric 1D/2D motifs

Coordination 1D or 2D polymers can increase their dimension-

ality by forming 3D nets via hydrogen bonds. Those showing

interpenetration are reported in Table 2. The 43 1D metal–

organic species show six different types of subnets (illustrated in

Fig. 3), all but four (GUYBEH, KEXWAM, KEXWEQ,

BENCED, see below) with the 1D motifs running in the same

direction. Few remarkable 3-connected nets are observed, like in

Fig. 17 The 83-eta net formed by 1D helical chains in RENPAC (4-fold

interpenetrated).

1834 | CrystEngComm, 2008, 10, 1822–1838

the case of Ag(m-bis(4-pyridyl)amine)ClO4 (RENPAC) with

helical chains cross-linked to give a 4-fold interpenetrated array

of 83-eta nets (see Fig. 17). Note that similar interpenetration

pattern was observed in the interpenetrated MOF [Cu2

(tetraacetylethane)(bipy)2](NO3)2 [LEQQII].19 Three cases of

3-fold interpenetrated architectures with the 103-ths net topology

are formed from 1D parallel zigzag chains in ASEFUZ, and 1D

perpendicular on parallel plane for KEXWAM and KEXWEQ

as clearly illustrated in Fig. 18.

The majority of the networks in Table 2 show 6-c 412.63-pcu

topology: indeed, this topology seems naturally favoured by the

variety of side linking modes that can associate parallel 1D

chains, whichever the subnet type, into a 3D array (see Fig. 19).

Other possibilities of linking chains to give different 3D topol-

ogies are illustrated in Fig. 20.

The 21 2D coordination polymers that generate 3D inter-

penetrated hydrogen-bonded arrays show only three subnet

topologies (see Fig. 4), mainly the 44-sql one, as summarized in

Table 3.

The generation of the 3D net topologies from 44-sql layers is

illustrated in Fig. 21.

The 412.63-pcu nets are formed in a simple way via hydrogen-

bond bridges connecting the nodes of the adjacent stacked layers.

A different linking of adjacent 44-sql layers is observed for the

6-c nets 48.54.63-bsn (see also Fig. 9). As already mentioned,

for the case of the family [M(squarato)2(H2O)2][1,3-bis(4-

pyridinium)propane)] (illustrated in Fig. 2) the origin of the 65.

8-cds nets comes from hydrogen bonding between the mid-point

of ligands of the M(L)2 44-sql layers above and below the plane.

In (4.62)2(42.610.83)-rtl nets the nodes of a layer form two

hydrogen-bond bridges with the mid-points of the ligands of

Networks from entangled polymers

In the 3D hydrogen-bonded interpenetrated networks originated

from polymeric motifs we should consider the possibility that

they are already interpenetrated, polycatenated or entangled in

some way.2c Indeed, we observed few examples of such situa-

tions. One case Ca2(5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)-

rings (RoR) spanning perpendicular directions of propagation in

such a way to give 2D polythreaded layers2c (see Fig. 22).

Conclusions

The analysis of interpenetrating 3D networks based on

hydrogen-bonded metal–organic molecular (0D) and polymeric

(1D and 2D) complexes in CSD using the TOPOS package has

produced a list of 135 distinct entangled frames. We have found

that the maximum interpenetration is limited to 5-fold and the

main (overall) topology is 412.63-pcu. However the results are

rather different when dealing with nets from 0D or from 1D/2D

building motifs: in the former case the preferred net connectivity

is 4-c while in the latter case it is 6-c. The presence of valence-

bonded motifs (especially 2D) has direct influence on the

resulting 3D net topology. Interpenetration was previously not

seen in most (ca. two thirds) of the listed species that exhibit

a number of topological types, five of which are unprecedented.

The networks from 0D motifs are analysed in more detail and

their connectivities and topologies are compared with the

distributions in the other families of single and interpenetrated

3D arrays. For the nets derived from 1D/2D motifs the rela-

tionship with the original subnets (6 types of 1D and 3 of 2D) is

investigated. A few noteworthy cases involving entangled orig-

inal subnets are also discussed. Tables 1 and 2 (and ESI†) contain

a lot of further information that could be useful for comparisons

and classification of new future interpenetrated species.
