The solvothermal reaction of cobalt chloride and 4,4′,4″-nitrilotrisbenzoic acid (H3NTB) in N,N′-dimethylformamide (DMF) affords a new three-dimensional Co-NTB compound with an empirical formula of HDMA2[Co5(NTB)4(H2O)3(DMA)]·7DMF (HDMA+, dimethylammonium). Its anionic network is built up from two connected NbO subnets and presents large hexagonal and small triangular channels containing the cations and the solvent molecules.
