Construction of coordination polymers(CPs)or metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)has attracted more and more attention in recent years not only for potentialapplicationsbutalsoforfascinating architectures and topologies[1-6].Entanglement systems, such as polycatenation,polythreading,polyknotting,aswell as Borromean links,are of special interest[7-9]. Polycatenation indicates that the lower dimensional polymeric structures can generate a structureof overall higher dimensionality through entanglement, such as 1D→2D[10-12]and 2D→3D[13-16].Each individual motif is catenated only with the surrounding ones and notwithalltheothers.Polythreadedstructures, however,are characterized by the presence of closed loops and elements that can thread through the loops, which can be considered as extended periodic analogues of molecular rotaxanes and pseudorotaxanes.To our knowledge,most encountered cases containing both polyrotaxaneandpolycatenanemotifsdisplaya parallel 2D→2D interlocking mode[17-21];only a few examples display an inclined 2D→3D interlocking mode[22-24]since the first 2D→3D parallel interpenetration was reported in 1997[25].Most of these frameworks are constructed from simple 2D(4,4)or(6,3)layers with side arms.

Recently,we have reported a series of entangled metal-organic frameworks with interpenetrating/selfpenetrating properties[26-29].Herein,we report two isostructural Ni coordination complexes,{[Ni3(BPT)2(bpe)2(H2O)6]·2DMF·7H2O}n(1)and{[Ni3(BPT)2(bpea)2(H2O)6] ·2DMF·5H2O}n(2)(H3BPT=biphenyl-3,4′,5-tricarboxylic acid,bpe=1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene,bpea=1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane,DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide). Connection of Ni centers with BPT and N-containing colig-ands led to a(3,4)-connected(63)(65.8)bilayer struc-ture with the tricarboxylate ligands and Ni atoms as 3-connected T-shaped and 4-connected tetrahedral nodes,respectively.Each bilayer polycatenates other two identical bilayers,giving rise to a porous 2D→3D polycatenating network with polyrotaxane moieties.

2.1Description of the structures

Solvothermal treatment of a mixture of Ni(NO3)2· 6H2O,BPT and bpe or bpea in DMF/CH3OH/H2O at 373 K for 48 h gave rise to green crystals of compounds 1 and 2,respectively.Single crystal X-ray diffractionstudiesindicatedthatthesetwocompoundsare isostructuralandonlycompound1isdescribed representatively.Compound1crystallizesinthe triclinic crystal system and space group P1.As shown in Fig.1,the asymmetric unit is composed of two crystallographically independent Ni centers,one BPT

Symmetry transformations used to generate equivalent atoms:i1-x,1-y,2-z;iix,1+y,z;iii1+x,y,z for 1;i1+x,y,z;iix,1+y,z;iii-x,1-y,-z for 2ligand,one bpe ligand and two aqua molecules.Both Nicenters adopt six-coordinated octahedral coordination geometry.The coordination spheres are different, however.ForNi1,theequatorialplaneofthe octahedron is composed of two chelating carboxylate oxygen atoms(O1 and O2),one monodentate carboxylate oxygen atom(O4ii)(Symmetry code:iix,1+y,z)from two different BPT ligands as well as one aqua oxygen atom(O7).Two nitrogen atoms(N1 and N2ii)from two bpe ligands occupy the axial positions.Ni2 at the site with centrosymmetry,however,is surrounded by four aqua oxygen atoms(O8,O9,O8iand O9i)and two monodentate carboxylate oxygen atoms(O5 and O5i) (Symmetry code:i1-x,1-y,2-z)of two different BPT ligands.The Ni-O and Ni-N distances are in the range of 0.202 0(4)～0.216 0(5)nm,respectively.

Each BPT ligand adopts μ3-η1∶η1∶η2mode,connecting two Ni1 atoms and one Ni2 atom,forming a ladder structure along the a axis with Ni1…Ni1iand Ni1…Ni1ii(Symmetry codes:i1-x,1-y,2-z;iix,1+y, z;)separations of 1.014 5(1)and 2.351 0(2)nm across the ladder(Fig.2a).These ladders are pillared by bpe bridges to give a 2D bilayer structure in parallel with the ac plane(Fig.2b).Topologically,BPT ligand and Ni1 centers could be considered as 3-connected T-shaped and 4-connected distorted tetrahedral nodes, respectively.The Schl?fli symbol of the whole bilayer is represented as(3,4)-connected(63)(65.8)with long symbol of(6.62.6)(6.6.6.6.6)[32](Fig.3).To the best of ourknowledge,examplesofmolecularbilayers constructed by′T-shaped′modules are still rare so far. The T-shaped modules are generally metal centers with T-shaped coordination configurationthroughthree‘spacer’ligands[33-36].To get T-shaped modules by‘T-shaped’ligands could be considered as another strategy.Recently,a coordination polymer assembled from the BPT ligand,namely,{[Cd3(BPT)2(H2O)9]· (H2O)5}n[37],has been reported.The BPT ligands bridge Cd centers to form a typical T-shaped molecular bilayer motif subunit,which is inclined to form multidimensional structures.The difference lies in the fact that the individual bilayer is of an(82.10)topology with the ligands as 3-connected T-shaped nodes.

The most fascinating and peculiar structural feature of compounds 1 and 2 is that these two coordination polymers show both polyrotaxane and polycatenane character.Through the special connection of metals and ligands,1D nanotubes are observed along both the a and b axis within the bilayer.The dimensions of these tubes are 1.350 7(2)nm×2.349 7(4)nm (1.342 19(18)nm×2.345 43(16)nm for compound 1 and 1.011 90(14)nm×2.349 7(4)nm(1.016 60(13) nm×2.34543(16)nm for compound 2 based on the separation of opposite metal centers,respectively.As expected,thelargedimensionallowsthemto interpenetrate in an extensive and unusual fashion.Firstly,each bilayer is aligned parallel to the c axis and interlocked in a parallel fashion with two nearest neighboring ones to give rise to a 3D polycatenated structure.Secondly,the bpe-Ni2-bpe part in one bilayer acts as a rod and threads into the[Ni2(BPT)2(bpe)2]or[Ni2(BPT)2(bpea)2]loop from the other two bilayers(Fig.4).Asaconsequence,thesetwo compounds represent 2D→3D examples having both polycatenane and polyrotaxane characteristics.Due to different N-containing ligands in two complexes,the pillared bpe-Ni2-bpe or bpea-Ni2-bpea parts within thebilayer form different angles(59.861(7)°for 1; 49.406(4)°for 2)with respect to the single layer, respectively(Fig.5).

Although such complicated interpenetration has occurred,1D channels extend along the a axis.Calcu-lations using PLATON reveal that the dimensions of these channels occupy 29.7%and 26.8%of the whole unit cell[38].

2.2Powder XRD and TGA

Powder XRD measurements were employed to revealfurtherstructuralinformation.Diffraction patterns of compounds 1 and 2 were displayed in Fig. 6.Almost all peaks actually measured were well fit to those in the simulated curves,indicating the purity of both compounds.Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) was performed on both compounds to investigate their thermalstability(Fig.7).Thesetwocompounds exhibited similar thermal stability,as indicated by well coincidence of the two weight-loss curves.The TG curves of these compounds displayed a steady weight loss from room temperature to 120℃(Weight loss:18.0%for 1 and 17.6%for 2),corresponding to the loss of free DMF and H2O molecules(Calcd. 18.3%for 1 and 17.2%for 2).Sudden weight loss occurred at 360 and 370℃for 1 and 2,respectively, accompanied by rapid collapse of the frameworks.

2.3Gas absorption properties

In order to investigate the porous properties of thestructures,gassorptionmeasurementswere performed.Considering the isostructural structures, only compound 1 was selected representatively.Fresh samples of compound 1 were firstly solvent exchanged with CH2Cl2and then outgassed at 80℃for 10 hours under vacuum.Interestingly,the activated sample of compound 1 hardly adsorbs N2gas(3.7 cm3·g-1before 9.31×104Pa and 20.6 cm3·g-1at 1.0×105Pa)at 77 K but exhibits adsorption for CO2up to(29.3 cm3·g-1)at 273 K and 1.0×105Pa(Fig.8).This selective adsorption behavior has also been found in other reported coordination polymers and could also be attributed to the small apertures of the channels that prevent the entrance of N2(Kinetic diameter:0.364 nm)but allow the diffusion of CO2(Kinetic diameter:0.33 nm)into the channels[39-42].The gas uptakes are not as high as the pore volume based upon the crystal structure, which may be derived from the partly collapse or shrink of the framework of compound 1 after removal of the solvent molecules.

3　Conclusions

In summary,we have prepared and reported two isostructural 2D→3D polycatenating networks with polyrotaxane moieties.The 2D net could be represented as(3,4)-connected(63)(65.8)with the tricarboxylateligands and Ni atoms as 3-connected T-shaped and 4-connectedtetrahedralnodes,respectively.Gas adsorptivemeasurementsindicatedcompound1 exhibited adsorption for CO2and N2.

Two Ni-organic frameworks,namely,{[Ni3(BPT)2(bpe)2(H2O)6]·2DMF·7H2O}n(1)and{[Ni3(BPT)2(bpea)2(H2O)6]·2DMF·5H2O}n(2)(H3BPT=biphenyl-3,4′,5-tricarboxylic acid,bpe=1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, bpea=1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane,DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide),were solvothermally synthesized and characterized. In the two isostructural complexes,BPT ligand and N-containing ligand bpea or bpe connect adjacent Ni centers to form a bilayer structure.The whole topology could be represented as(3,4)-connected(63)(65.8)with the tricarboxylate ligands and Ni atoms as 3-connected T-shaped and 4-connected tetrahedral nodes,respectively. Each bilayer polycatenates two other identical bilayers,giving rise to a 2D→3D polycatenating network with polyrotaxane moieties.Gas adsorptive measurements indicated compound 1 exhibited adsorption of CO2and N2.
