Unprecedented Eight-Connected Self-catenated Network Based on Heterometallic {Cu₄V₄O₁₂} Clusters as Nodes

An interesting eight-connected self-catenated metal−organic framework, based on bimetallic {Cu4V4O12} clusters as nodes, defines a new self-catenated topology for eight-connected networks and represents the first self-catenated framework using heterometallic clusters as nodes.
