A Unique Diamondoid Network Resulting from the Convolution of π−π Stacking and Lipophilic Interactions

A novel supramolecular pseudo-tetrahedral synthon, which generates two independent, interpenetrating,
diamondoid nets, results from the lipophilic interactions between the aliphatic chains of the spacers connecting the copper(II) ions within two binuclear [{Cu(acac)(phen)}2(μ-bpp)]2+ species [bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane].
