52. We are most grateful to a referee for bringing to our attention three previous examples of coordination polymers which demonstrate related topological features related to those reported here (Abrahams, B. F.; Hardie, M. J.; Hoskins, B. F.; Robson, R.; Sutherland, E. E. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1994, 1049. Hardie, M. J. Ph.D. Thesis, University of Melbourne, 1995. Abrahams, B. F.; Batten S. R.; Grannas M. J.; Hamit H.; Hoskins, B. F.; Robson, R. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed Engl. 1999, 38, 1475. The latter paper describes the structural type as a "self-entangled net" but other descriptions including "self-catenating" and "self-penetrating" are also valid. The structural description is somewhat subjective and we prefer the term "polyknotted" as we believe it describes most clearly the subtle complexity of this remarkable class of compounds.
