title: A new type of entangled coordination network: coexistence of polythreading and polyknotting involved molecular braids.
abstract: A fascinating polythreaded coordination network formed by 1D crankshaft shaped chains threading into a 2D undulated sheet in a one-over/one-under interweaving fashion was reported, in which the 2D layer exhibits an unusual polyknotted entanglement containing triple-stranded molecular braids.
