A new compound [Zn3（C7NO4H3）3Cl4]·[C6NO2H6]4·4H2O （I） has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.It crystallizes in monoclinic,space group C2/c with a=16.9018（14）,b=12.6902（10）,c=25.1170（2）,β=90.54°,V=5387.0（8）3,Z=4,Zn3C45H41Cl4N7O24,Mr=1401.76,Dc=1.728 g/cm3,F（000）=2840,μ（MoKa）=1.615 mm-1,the R= 0.0758 and wR=0.2060 for 3468 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））.Analysis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data shows that compound I displays an interesting example of 3D supramolecular networks with perfect neutral and ionic hydrogen bonding array.
A new mellitate complex [Cu3（μ2-mellitate）（μ2-H2O）（H2O）2·H2O]n 1 has been synthesized by the reaction of mellitic acid and Cu（CH3COO）2·H2O in the presence of base. Crystallographic data for 1： C12H8O16Cu3, Mr = 598.80, orthorhombic, Pbcn, a = 8.4378（6）, b = 10.0396（7）, c = 17.6799（12）A, V = 1497.70（18）A^3, Z = 4, De = 2.656 g/cm^3, μ = 4.327 mm^-1, F（000） = 1180, R = 0.0431 and wR = 0.0964 for 1075 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. X-ray crystal structural analysis revealed that the mellitate anions behave as the bridging ligands and link eight copper atoms repeatedly to form a novel three-dimensional metal-organic coordination polymer with two different rhombic tunnels in the solid-state structure.
