Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Abstract</bold>. The solvothermal reaction between cuprous iodide and the rigid triangular imidazole ligand in mixed <italic>N</italic>, <italic>N</italic>′‐dimethylacetamide (DMA)‐acetonitrile solvent leads to the isolation of the 3D metal‐organic framework [(Cu₄I₄)₃(TIPA)₄]<bold>·</bold>7DMA (<bold>1</bold>) [TIPA = tri(4‐imidazolylphenyl) amine], which was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, powder X‐ray diffraction, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Topologically, the structure of <bold>1</bold> is an unprecedented 3, 3, 4, 4‐connected net with a point symbol of {4.8.10}₂{4.8²}₂{4².8².10²}₂{8⁴.12²}. Compound <bold>1</bold> exhibits orange‐red photoluminescence with an emission maximum at 622 nm at room temperature.</p> </abstract>
