title: Unusual parallel and inclined interlocking modes in polyrotaxane-like metal-organic frameworks.
abstract: We describe here two unusual polyrotaxane-like metal-organic frameworks of [Co2(1,3-bix)2(bpea)2] and [Cd4(1,4-bix)4(bpea)4] x 4H2O , where both species contain loops and rods that are interlaced in a highly rare "parallel" fashion in , but, uniquely, in an "inclined" fashion in .
