A new dimension to nickel structures: A three-dimensional nickel glutarate, [Ni20{(C5H6O4)20(H2O)8}]⋅40 H2O, has been prepared under hydrothermal conditions. Its structure, solved from X-ray powder diffraction, is constructed from interconnected 20-rings, which form a remarkable open network of crossing channels (see picture). It is porous, and exhibits a ferromagnetic long-range ordering below 4 K.
