“…Meanwhile structural studies on "discrete" water clusters within the lattice of a crystal host have significantly advanced our knowledge towards the first step of understanding the behavior of bulk water. [15−16] So far, a variety of tetramer, [17] pentamer, [18] hexamer, [19] octamer, [20] and decamer [21] water cluster have been isolated in different solid crystalline hosts. Studies reveal that water clusters can play an important role in the stabilization of supramolecular systems both in solution and in the solid state; sometimes metal ions in such structure can also act as glues in holding the water cluster.…”

Two new complexes constructed by 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid (H 2 PDA) and 2,2 -bipyridine (2,2 -bpy), namely [Cu(PDA)(2,2 -bpy)]·5H 2 O (1) and [Zn 2 (PDA)( 2,2 -bpy) 2 Cl 2 ] (2), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR, and UV-Vis spectrum. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that they both crystallize in the triclinic space group of P-1. In complex 1, the Cu atom is hexa-coordinated and each asymmetric unit contains five uncoordinated water molecules that form a water cluster (H 2 O) 10 with their symmetric equivalent. Complex 2 is a simple dimer and the Zn atom is penta-coordinated. Both in complex 1 and 2 there are π−π stacking interactions. INTRODUCTIONRecently, much attention has been paid to the synthesis of coordination polymers due to their potential applications such as gas storage, selective catalysis, molecular separation, and magnetism. [1−8] As far as we know, selecting appropriate ligands is the most effective strategy in obtaining coordination polymers. As bridging ligands, carboxylates, especially multi-carboxylates, are of immense interest in the construction of polymeric coordination architectures not only because the fact that these polymers have a wide range of structural diversities and potential applications as porous materials and magnetic materials, but also because the multi-carboxylates are capable of functioning as hydrogen bond donors and/or
