Abstract

The shortest circuits in the three-dimensional network with (12,3) topology of solvated Ni(tpt)(NO<sub>3</sub> )<sub>2</sub> pass through one another (see picture). This network based upon interlinked double helices occupies a unique position in the set of (n,3) nets. tpt=tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine.
