Abstract

MOFs on the move: A copper coordinated [2]pseudorotaxanate which reacts with zinc nitrate to form an extended structure, consisting of three-fold interpenetrated networks, retains most of its solution-state chemistry including its ability to undergo electronic switching of some of the copper(I) ions under redox control.
