title: Anion-directed assembly of a non-interpenetrated square-grid metal-organic framework with nanoscale porosity.
abstract: A non-interpenetrated square grid metal-organic framework (MOF) comprised of octahedral Zn(II) ions and linear N,N'-di(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide (DPNDI) ligands was formed in the presence of noncoordinating perchlorate counterions that occupied the cavities of the porous network by forming CH···anion hydrogen bonds with DPNDI ligands, whereas a linear coordination polymer was obtained when Zn(II)-coordinated nitrate ions were present as counterions.
