A 2D metal-organic framework interpenetrated by a 2D supramolecular framework assembled by CH/π interactions

A new compound, formulated as [(Cu2Cu2Cl6)-Cu-I-Cl-II(L)(TCNB)](n)center dot(MeOH)(n)(acetone)(n) (1) (L = tris(2-naphthimidazolylmethyl) amine, TCNB = 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene), featuring an interesting twofold 2D + 2D -> 3D hetero-interpenetrating framework was synthesized at room temperature. The framework is built from a 2D metal-organic framework and a 2D supramolecular framework assembled by CH/pi interactions, which inclined interpenetrate and interact with each other by strong pi center dot center dot center dot pi stacking and CH/pi interactions.
