Abstract
A novel ladder coordination polymer [Cu2I(ip)(4,4′-bipyridine)] · 3.5H2O (1) (ip = isophthalate) was prepared via redox reaction under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis. In the crystal structure of 1, each ring of the ladder is interlocked by two different, symmetry-related ladders, and the polycatenation of ladders forms a 3D network with rhombic channels clathrating water molecules.
