Hydroxyl is substituted : The synthesis of an unprecedented 2D inorganic azido–copper–hydroxyl compound has been accomplished by partially substituting hydroxyl by azide. In this compound, [Cu(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ not only serves as counterion to offset the high negative charge of the 2D layers, but may also serve as template in assembly of the [Cu 24 ] macrocyclic compound (see graphic) through hydrogen‐bond interactions.
