These materials could be prepared from solution (1\u20133), diffusion (4), or hydrothermal reactions (5) with various anions and L:M ratios. Structural details were revealed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The discrete units composing compounds 1\u20133, the polymeric 1D chain of 4 and the 2D layer of 5 are further extended into 3D supramolecular architectures through the formation of hydrogen bonds.   <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules200712341","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,8]],"date-time":"2015-07-08T10:10:02Z","timestamp":1436350202000},"page":"12341-12363","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Multidimensional Transition Metal Complexes Based on  3-Amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylic Acid: From Discrete Mononuclear Complexes to Layered Materials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Bing","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, CICECO\u2013Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro,  Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV & Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences,  University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, CICECO\u2013Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro,  Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Tom\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Aveiro, QOPNA, Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago,  3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry, Ghent University, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2051-5645","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipe","family":"Paz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, CICECO\u2013Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro,  Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Cunha-Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REQUIMTE\/LAQV & Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences,  University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1391","DOI":"10.1021\/ja9933386","article-title":"Highly porous and stable metal-organic frameworks: Structure design and sorption properties","volume":"122","author":"Eddaoudi","year":"2000","journal-title":"J.
