Implication

Structural analysis reveals two-fold interpenetrating diamondoid networks in copper bipyridine complexes, highlighting aromatic stacking as the primary stabilizing interaction.

Key Points

Synthesize and characterize novel three-dimensional coordination polymers based on tetrahedral Cu(I) centers and bent 3,3'-bipyridine bridging ligands.
Assembled tetrahedral Cu(I) centers with bridging, nonchelating 3,3'-bipyridine ligands paired with BF4- or PF6- counterions.
Characterized the resulting three-dimensional network architecture, cage geometries, and inter-network contact points.
Formed three-dimensional diamondoid coordination frameworks containing sufficient internal void space to permit the interpenetration of an identical second network.
Determined that aromatic stacking contacts between twisted bipyridine rings across distinct networks represent the exclusive stabilizing interactions between the adamantane-like cages.
