The reaction of Cu(I)(CH3CN)(4)BF4 with 4-pyridylacrylic acid (4-HPYA) affords an unprecedented 8-fold interpenetrating diamondoid-like coordination polymer network [CU(I)(3)(4-PYA)(2)(H2O)(BF4)] (1) with a CU4+(CO2)(4) cluster as connecting node. The interpenetration in metal coordination polymers is the highest degree ever found within diamondoid nets containing a cluster as connecting note. Its fluorescent property was also reported.
