Three new complexes [Cd(4-pmpmd)1.5(NO3)2]·CHCl3 (1), [Cd(3-pmpmd)1.5(NO3)2]·EtOH (2), and [Zn(3-pmpmd)1.5(NO3)2]·MeOH (3) (3- or 4-pmpmd = N,N'-bis(3- or 4-pyridylmethyl)pyromellitic diimide) containing T-shaped buildingblocks have been obtained from reactions between the long semirigid ligands 3- or 4-pmpmd and either cadmiumor zinc nitrate. 1 forms noninterpenetrated 1D molecular ladders that are linked via multiple, complementaryintermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds that effect the 3D alignment. 2 and 3 are isostructural and feature anoninterpenetrated 2D butterfly-shaped network with (6,3) topology. Multiple intermolecular C-H···O hydrogenbonds exist between the 2D layers and generate the 3D framework. The structural differences between 1 and 2or 3 are attributed to the different conformations adopted by the ligands, which illustrate the influence of positionalisomerism on the resultant supramolecular architectures of metal complexes.
