Two-dimensional metal–organic network with an unusual 36 topology and a cubic close packing pattern

Abstract

X-Ray crystal structure of metal–organic network, [Zn3(SDA)3(DMF)2] (1) (H2SDA = trans-4,4′-stilbenedicarboxylic acid), composed of tri-nuclear secondary building units linked with SDA reveals a two-dimensional network with a relatively uncommon 36 topology and a cubic close packing mode.
