Novel multidimensional supramolecular networks with brick wall and honeycomb structures, [Ni(C 12 H 30 N 6 O 2 )] 3 [C 6 H 3 (COO) 3 ] 2 ·18H 2 O ( 1 ) and [Ni(C 12 H 30 N 6 O 2 )] 3 [C 6 H 3 (COO) 3 ] 2 ·14H 2 O·2C 5 H 5 N ( 2 ), respectively, have been constructed by the self-assembly of S = 0 Ni(II) macrocyclic complex containing hydroxyl pendent chains and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (BTC 3- ). The host structures assembled are greatly affected even by the partial change of the guests. X-ray crystal structures indicate that each Ni(II) macrocycle binds two BTC 3- in the trans position and each BTC 3- coordinates three Ni(II) macrocyclic units via C 1 symmetry in 1 and C 3 symmetry in 2 . The simplest cyclic motif of the two-dimensional (2-D) networks in 1 and 2 is a large ring consisting of six Ni(II) macrocyclic complexes and six BTC 3- anions. The rings are extended to form a 2-D layer. The layers are stacked in parallel, separated by 8.850 Å in 1 and 8.973 Å in 2 . They are interconnected by the hydrogen-bonding interactions between the hydroxyl pendants of the macrocycle in a layer and the secondary amines of the macrocycle located in the neighboring layers, which gives rise to the three-dimensional structures. The effective cavity size of 1 is ca. 6.7 × 13 Å and that of 2 ca. 11.4 × 11.4 Å. The cavities are filled with guest molecules. In 2, the pyridine guest experiences π−π interaction with the benzene ring of BTC 3- . Variable-temperature (2−300 K) magnetic suscep...
