Rhombic grids

Table 4 Comparison of the dimensions [Cu- Cu separations (A) and Cu- Cu- Cu angles (°)] of the rhombic grids formed by anion-mediated hydro-gen-bonding assemblies...

The complexes [Fe2(ligand)4(NCS) ]-x guest (guest = ethanol, acetone) consist of almost orthogonal doubly-interpenetrated 2-D (4,4) rhombic grid layers built from the linkage of Fe(II) by different ditopic ligands. In the coordination polymer... 

In [ Zn[di(3-pyridyl)viologen]2(MeCN)2 6C104] , one Zn atom is coordinated by four ligands and two acetonitrile molecules, and the opposing pyridyl moieties coordinate to neighboring Zn atoms forming a 2-D sheet-like structure (2-D rhombic grid Scheme 4b). 

M = Ru) which forms a 2D structure on reaction with CuCb (Fignre 12). This also illustrates that the result is not always a perfectly sqnare grid, and in this case a rhombic grid is obtained (taking the ruthenium centers as the nodes)...
