The use of simple self-assembly methods to direct or engineer porosity or channels of desirable functionality is a major challenge in the field of metal organic frameworks. We herein report a series of frameworks by modifying square ring structure of [{Cu-2(5-dmpy)(2)(L-1)(2)-(H2O)(MeOH)}(2){ClO4}(4)]center dot 4MeOH (1.4MeOH, 5-dmpy = 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, HL1 = 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid). Use of pyridyl carboxylates as directional spacers in bipyridyl chelated Cu(II) system led to the growth of square unit into other configurations, namely, square ring, square chain, and square tunnel. Another remarkable characteristic is that the novel use of two isomers of pyridinyl acrylic acid directs selectively to two different extreme tubular forms aligned stacking of discrete hexagonal rings and crack-free one-dimensional continuum polymers.. This provides a unique example of two extreme forms of copper nanotubes from two isomeric spacers. All of the reactions are performed in a one-pot self-assembly process at room temperature, while the topological selectivity is exclusively determined by the skeletal characteristics of the spacers.
