Two exo ‐bidentate pyridyl ligands containing diamides as spacers were shown to form non‐interpenetrated 2D‐coordination networks of (4,4)‐geometry upon treatment with Cu(NO 3 ) 2 and NaSCN. The crystal structures reveal that both structures contain intralayer β‐sheet hydrogen bonds. In one of these structures nitrobenzene occupies 60 % of the crystal volume included between the coordination networks. The nitrobenzene molecules form a layer which has the hexameric C–H ··· O hydrogen bonded aggregate as a basic building block. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
