by metallocycle subunits and nip anions, and extended
into 3D supramolecular structures by weak interacꢀ
tions. The flexibility of pbbm and the different coordiꢀ
nation preferences of the Co(II) and Ni(II) metal ions
lead cooperatively to the different architectures of 1D
tube. Further studies will focus on producing other
metalꢀorganic complexes with novel structures by
using a wide range of bridging flexible bis(benzimidaꢀ
zole)ꢀbased ligands and polycarboxylates. Therefore,
the prospect of tuning the size of metallocycle through
bridging bis(benzimidazole)ꢀbased ligands provides an
