Clusters of the type [Re6Q8(CN)6]4- (Q = S, Se) are demonstrated to react with a range of divalent transition metal ions in aqueous solution to produce framework materials. The structures of the new phases exhibiting two-dimensional sheets, interpenetrating frameworks with pocket-lined one-dimensional channels, and a three-dimensional network of water-filled cubic cages are described.
