Use of tetrameric cubane aggregates of lithium aryloxides as secondary building units in controlling network assembly.
Pre-aggregation of lithium aryloxides into tetrahedral arrangements followed by crystallization with the divergent Lewis base dioxane results in the preparation of three types of coordination polymers: zig-zag chains, (6,3) sheets, and diamondoid lattices.
