SDU-9 ([Cu6(H2O)6L4]·24H2O, where [H3L = 4,4′,4″-(hydroxysilanetriyl)­tris­(triphenyl-4-carboxylic acid), represents a rare example of a highly symmetrical coordination network and extremely tight self-catenation. To the best of our knowledge, SDU-9 has the highest topological density among all known 3,4-coordinated nets. %I ACS Publications
