(1) are described. The structure of 1 is based on a (4,4)-grid topology with Co(II) ions and 4,4'-tpcb cyclobutane molecules as 4-connected nodes and two different rhombus-shaped cavities in the framework. Solvent methanol molecules are clathrated between the grids. A model involving pseudo-merohedral twinning was required to arrive at a satisfactory single-crystal structure solution. Crystal data for 1: triclinic, space group P (1) over bar, a = 9.006(2), b = 9.127(2), c = 9.129(2), alpha = 78.57(3), beta = 88.99(3), gamma = 88.98(3), V = 735.4(3), and Z = 1 for R = 0.0362 (2539 reflections with I > 2sigma(I), 184 parameters).
