Graphical Abstract

The octahedral [Re6Se8(CN)6]4− ions with various bridging metal ions form well-defined cubic and hexagonal mesostructures (see image) in the presence of liquid-crystal template in formamide. The interaction between the positively charged micellar head groups of the template and the [Re6Se8(CN)6]4− ions is a pure noncovalent electrostatic interaction. These materials are coordination polymers with exceptionally large 1D or 3D potential pores because of the dimension of mesoscale liquid-crystal template.
