Abstract

Solvothermal reaction of a partially flexible ligand, H(4)L, and Cu(NO(3))(2)·2.5H(2)O afforded two cross-linked Kagomé lattices of formula [Cu(2)(L)](n): an acs net sustained by novel trigonal prismatic supermolecular building blocks (SBBs) and the first example of a partially pillared Kagomé net.
