title: A tetrapyridine ligand with a rigid tetrahedral core forms metal-organic frameworks with PtS type architecture.
abstract: A new tetradentate, pyridine ligand with a rigid tetrahedral core can be prepared in good yield by a cross-coupling methodology. Two metal organic framework structures of Cu(II) with PtS-type topology having a carbon atom as the tetrahedral node have been characterized utilising this ligand.
