The current interest in the crystal engineering of polymeric coordination networks [1] stems from their potential applications as zeolite-like materials [2] for molecular selection, ion exchange, and catalysis, as well as in the intriguing variety of architectures and topologies. Particularly attractive are the novel types of supramolecular intertwinings observed in these species, that still need a rational classification. According to Batten and Robson [3] an ªinterpenetrating frameworkº is comprised of motifs that are infinite and inextricably entangled, that is, they cannot be separated without breaking links. On this basis, we must exclude some interesting polymeric entanglements recently described, including polymeric catenanes, [4] infinite double helices, [5] two-dimensional clothlike warp-and-weft sheets, [6] and other noteworthy supramolecular architectures. [7] For ªtrueº interpenetrating networks, however, different classes can be envisaged. The dominant type (ªclass Aº) is represented by 2D or 3D species that are comprised of a limited number of individual frames of equal topology that interpenetrate into an array with the same original dimensionality as in, for example, n-fold parallel interpenetrating hexagonal layers (n 6) or diamondoid nets (n 9). [3] Other types of interpenetration have been observed in coordination polymers that are reminiscent of molecular catenanes and rotaxanes. Some examples of polymeric catenated species are illustrated in Figure 1. In contrast to the class A interpenetrated nets, these examples all show the following features: 1) the constituent motifs have a lower dimensionality than that of the resulting architectures; 2) each individual motif is intertwined only with the surrounding ones and not with all the others, as ªa ring in a chainº; and 3) the concept of ªn-foldicityº cannot be used in the same sense as for class A. [13] We report here on a new member of this class of catenated motifs, 1, obtained from the selfassembly of copper(ii) sulfate and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp).[Cu 5 (bpp) 8 (SO 4 ) 4 (EtOH)(H 2 O) 5 ](SO 4 )´EtOH´25.5 H 2 O 1[3] a) M.
