This work considers non-crystallographic periodic nets obtained from multiple identical copies of an underlying crystallographic net by adding or flipping edges so that the result is connected. Such a structure is called a `ladder' net here because the 1-periodic net shaped like an ordinary (infinite) ladder is a particularly simple example. It is shown how ladder nets with no added edges between layers can be generated from tangled polyhedra. These are simply related to the zeolite nets SOD, LTA and FAU. They are analyzed using new extensions of algorithms in the program Systre that allow unambiguous identification of locally stable ladder nets.

2D metal-organic frameworks (2D-MOFs) are an important class of functional porous materials. However, the low porosity and surface area of 2D-MOFs have greatly limited their functionalities and applications. Herein, the rational synthesis of a class of mos-MOFs with molybdenum disulfide (mos) net based on the assembly of trinuclear metal clusters and 3-connected tripodal organic ligands is reported.

Quasicrystals have been comprehensively studied since their discovery in 1984 by Daniel Shechtman to dissolve their complex structures concerning their physical properties [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. The quasi-periodic well-ordered atomic structures made QCs as a novel type of solids differing from the crystalline or amorphous materials [5], [6], [7]. The QC alloys have non-crystallographic rotational symmetries, such as five-fold, eight-fold, and even ten-fold rotational axes that are prohibited in ordinary periodic crystals [5], [6], [7].

Unstable nets, by definition, display vertex collisions in any barycentric representation, among which are approximate models for the associated crystal structures. This means that different vertex lattices happen to superimpose when every vertex of a periodic net is located at the centre of gravity of its first neighbours. Non-crystallographic nets are known to be unstable, but crystallographic nets can also be unstable and general conditions for instability are not known.

Bottom-up self-assembly of simple molecular compounds is a prime pathway to complex materials with interesting structures and functions. Coupled reaction systems are known to spontaneously produce highly ordered patterns, so far observed in soft matter. Here we show that similar phenomena can occur during silica-carbonate crystallization, the emerging order being preserved.
