Abstract

The new complex [Zn(H~2~bptc)(bpy)]**·**0.5bpdo (1) [H~4~bptc = 3,3',4,4'‐biphenyltetracarboxylic acid, bpy = 4,4'‐bipyridine, and bpdo = 4,4'‐bipyridine N,N'‐dioxide] has been synthesized and characterized. It exhibits a novel (2D→3D) interdigitated architecture that is obtained for the first time from the self‐assembly of sidearm‐containing bilayer motifs with a cuboidal framework, in which each cuboidal box of one bilayer is interdigitated by two arms that belong to two adjacent bilayers. The luminescent properties of 1 are discussed. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
