The framework isconstructed by the bridging squarate (C4O2−4)and N, N-bis-pyridin-4-ylmethylene-hydrazine (4-bpmh) ligandsand interpenetration of the 2D grid-like frameworks at definite angles gives rise to 2D→3D inclined polycate-nation with sql/Shubnikov tetragonal plane net topology. Extensive non-covalent interactions (H-bonding aswell asπ···πinteractions) are also observed which stabilises the 3D arrangement. Additionally, complex1contains 1D channels of large dimensions (10.91×11.78 Å2)that runs along theb-axis.
