The reaction of Cu(BF[sup]4[/sup])[sup]2[/sup] with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H[sup]2[/sup]pydc) and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) under hydrothermal conditions afforded a porous mixed-valence Cu[sub]I[/sub]Cu[sub]II[/sub] coordination polymer. Coexistence of tetrameric and decameric water clusters within the channels of the complex leads to a novel water chain. The metal-organic framework provides both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments for stabilizing the clusters and retains its integrity upon dehydration and rehydration. (English)
