A unique supramolecular framework, [Zn 4 (H 2 O) 2 (2,5tdc) 4 (3,3Ј-bpe) 3 ] n (1), was prepared by the self-assembly of Zn(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O, 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (2,5-H 2 tdc), and 1,2-bis(3-pyridyl)-ethene (3,3Ј-bpe) under hydrothermal conditions. The coordination network of 1 can be simplified as a (3,4)-connected dmc framework with a point symbol (4·8 2 )(4·8 5 ). The void space of a single network of 1 is filled by mutual interpenetration of four crystallographically equivalent nets, generating a fivefold interpenetrating * Prof. F.-Z.
