Batten and Robson disclosed that 1 with ZnCl2 forms a similar type of doubly interpenetrated network.[8]The diffusion of a solution of ZnI2 in MeOH into a nitrobenzene/MeOH solution of 1 resulted in single crystals of the complex [{(ZnI2) 3 (1) 2¥ 6 C6H5NO2} n](2). Single-crystal analysis of the complex revealed the formation of a doubly interpenetrated 3D network.[9] In the crystal structure of 2, the Znatoms adopt a tetrahedral geometry as the I atoms and pyridine moieties of TPT occupy two sites each. The shortest circuits in the 3D network contain ten molecules of 1 and ten Zn atoms (Figure 2a) and the network can be classified as having a (10, 3)-b configuration, if the Zn atoms are considered to be spacers and the moieties of 1 to be three connected nodes. Along the (010) axis, the network can be regarded as a helical, hexagonal 3D network with a pitch length of 15ä (Figure 2 b).[10] Two of these nets are interpenetrated such that continuous channels exist (Figure 2c, d). Despite this interlinking of the networks, 60% of the unit-cell volume is occupied by the nitrobenzene molecules, which are partially disordered. Interestingly, the interpenetration of the networks does not interfere in channel formation as the channels run in a direction overlapping that of the two networks (Figure 2d). The use of cyanobenzene in place of nitrobenzene also resulted in a similar complex [{(ZnI2) 3 (1) 2¥ 6 C6H5CN} n](3).[11]
