New CTV-based ligands with pyridyl functional groups have been synthesised for use as multifunctional ligands in coordination networks. Resultant hydrogen bonded network structures and coordination networks show a range of chain, 2-D and 3-D structures with hexagonal 6³ nets predominating. Recent results are discussed including highly complex 3-D networks where the molecular hosts pack in a tetrameric back-to-back fashion.enJournal article002006458010.1039/b505579b0002327776000012-s2.0-2734445114150213Sumby, C.
