The fascination of mankind with art and architecture has extended to the structural topology of molecules and materials and has led to deliberate syntheses of highly symmetric and strained molecules. Materials comprised of interpenetrating lattices (see Figure) have been discovered and there is high expectation that they will be advanced materials of the future with useful optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or separation properties.
