In this case, we dissolved the linker molecule in NMP instead of DMAc to resolve solubility issues; however, this change did not impact the size or shape of the cluster nodes, indicating the similar electronic environment of the linker molecule. It is intriguing to note that, although the N coordination site on the linker molecule has been enhanced compared to previous examples, we observed fewer attachments of these linker molecules to the cluster node-a phenomenon not seen with tridentate linker molecules (Fig. ). Due to this reduction of the number of the linker molecule on each cluster node further initiate the coordination of the CF3COO -units to the cluster node which ultimately neutralize each cluster node. However, due to the structural differences in the linker molecules, we observed a significant change in both the inter-cluster and interlayer distances. In this structure, the cluster nodes are separated by 8.553 Å along the X-axis and 13.941 Å along the Yaxis. Although the structural architecture of the framework exhibits a 2D geometry (Fig. ) but the closer look infers the ladder-like (Fig. ) geometrical pattern due to the non-linear nature of the linker molecule. The interlayer stacking follows an AB stacking mode, with an interlayer spacing of 9.978 Å.
