New 3D supramolecular networks S1 and S2 were prepared by Zn(II) coordination of the tetraphenylmethane-based p-type and n-type molecules bearing four terpyridine ligands. XRD and BET results indicate they are relatively amorphous and non-porous with a high degree of interpenetration within the netw...
