The current interest in coordination polymer frameworks not only stems from their potential applications in microelectronics, nonlinear optics, porous materials, and catalysis, but also from their intriguing variety of topologies and entanglement motifs.[1] Interpenetration has been the most investigated type of entanglement, as shown by the two comprehensive reviews by Batten and Robson.[2] More recently, a complete analysis of all the 3D interpenetrated structures contained in the CSD database was also carried out with a rationalization and classification of the topology of the interpenetration.[3] The increasing number of coordination polymers reported in the literature has led to new and more complex types of entanglement being recognized [2b, 4, 5] in polycatenated, polythreaded, and polyknotted species that are reminiscent of molecular catenanes, rotaxanes, and knots, respectively.According to Ciani and co-workers,[5] polycatenation differs from interpenetration in that the whole catenated array has a higher dimensionality than that of the component motifs, and that each individual motif is catenated only with the surrounding ones and not with all the others. Polythreaded structures are characterized by the presence of closed loops, as well as of elements that can thread through the loops, and can be considered as extended periodic analogues of molecular rotaxanes and pseudorotaxanes, depending on the “ideal” possibility of being extricated. Polyknotting is typical of self-penetrating nets, that is, single nets having the peculiarity that the smallest topological rings
