Abstract

An unprecedented architecture comprising of three isolated coordination polymers within the same crystalline structure has been obtained, in which two independent infinite one dimensional polymer chains, Cu(bpy)(H2O), fill the voids generated by a third, two dimensional, host framework, Cu3(Hbtc)(btc)(bpy)2. © 2010, Royal Society of Chemistry
