“…E63, m3013-m3014 [doi:10.1107 The self-assembly of metal-organic coordination polymers has attracted a great attention because of their potential as functional materials (Millward & Yaghi, 2005;Wong-Foy et al, 2006). When flexible ligands are involved in supramolecular architectures, the prediction of the topology of the coordination polymer is more difficult because there are several factors affecting the framework formation, such as the type of solvent, the counter-anion, and the metal-toligand ratio among others (Withersby et al, 1999(Withersby et al, , 1997Noro et al, 2002;Black et al, 1995;Blake et al, 1999;Bu et al, 2002;Carlucci et al, 2002). Neverthless, in order to gain more information about those subtle factors, not yet well understood, we have studied the effect of one parameter at a time on the topology of the networks (Awaleh et al, 2006a,b;.…”
