✦ Synopsis


The synthesis and crystal structures of [M(4,4Ј-bipyridine) 2 (NO 3 ) 2 ]⅐3naphthalene (M ϭ Co, 1⅐3naphthalene; Ni, 2⅐3naphthalene) are reported. 1⅐3naphthalene and 2⅐3naphthalene are isostructural and represent rare examples of interpenetrating planar networks that are chemically and topologically different. It appears that the networks coexist because the (4,4) topology of the cobalt and nickel square grids is complementary to the (6,3) topology of the naphthalene honeycomb network, resulting in an inclined interpenetrated 3D architecture. This observation is discussed in the context of rational design strategies for hybrid solids.
