Structural evolution via modifying (6,3) layer: from inclined polycatenation to parallel polyrotaxane-like interpenetration.

An example of structural evolution from inclined polycatenation to parallel polyrotaxane-like interpenetration is demonstrated by modifying the (6,3) layer. Notably synergies of co-ligand binding mode and metal coordination geometry provide the appropriate constituent motifs necessary to instill this entanglement variation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
