✦ Synopsis
Hydrothermal reaction of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H 3 btc), 2,2 0 -bipyridine (bipy) and Zn(CH 3 CO 2 ) 2 •2H 2 O gave rise to a threedimensional polymer [Zn 3.5 (m 3 -OH)(btc) 2 (bipy) 2 •H 2 O] n (1). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 1 consists of pentanuclear metal clusters and single metal centers bridged by btc 32 . The pentanuclear zinc(II) clusters are connected by btc 32 to give rise to a two-dimensional double layer motif. The neighbor double layers are further joined by single metal centers to create a three-dimensional porous framework.
