Hydrogen-bonding capable dipyridyl tethering ligands have afforded divalent
metal dicarboxylate coordination polymers with novel topologies
{[Cu2(phthalate)2(dpa)]•H2O}n
{[Cd(phthalate)(dpa)(H2O)]•4H2O}n
3-fold interpenetration of regular (12,3) self-penetrated sublattices,
connection through phthalate affords 4-connected
chiral self-penetrated yyz net (7482 topology)
homochiral septuple [Cu2O2(dpa)]n
6-fold helices with weak ferromagnetic coupling
