Three unprecedent polycational templated cuprous thiocyanate networks: synthesis, structure, and properties

Inspired by the lack of supramolecular hybrids induced by the multivalent interactions, we conducted three integrations of trication or tetracation with thiocyanate via strict templated self-assembly. These compounds represent the first type of 2–3 dimensional multi-threading polypseudorotaxanes based on Cu6(SCN)6 macrocycles.
