Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The syntheses and structures of two new Zn^II complexes, a 2D graphite‐like layer {[Zn(PIA)H₂O]<bold>⋅</bold>H₂O}_{<italic>n</italic>} (<bold>1</bold>) and an independent 1D single‐walled metal–organic nanotube (SWMONT) {[Zn₂(PIA)₂(bpy)₂]<bold>⋅</bold>2.5 H₂O<bold>⋅</bold>DMA}_{<italic>n</italic>} (<bold>2</bold>), have been reported based on a "Y"‐shaped 5‐(pyridine‐4‐yl)isophthalic acid ligand (H₂PIA). Interestingly, the 2D graphite‐like layer in <bold>1</bold> can transform into the independent 1D SWMONT in <bold>2</bold> with addition of 2, 2′‐bipyridine (bpy), which represents the first successfully experimental example of an independent 1D metal–organic nanotube generated from a 2D layer by a "rolling‐up" mechanism.</p> </abstract>
