The crystalline structure of SL-1 was revealed by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis, which demonstrates the existence of two different coordination geometries of cooper nodes. Cu1 center is anchored by two carboxylate groups from two H<sub>3</sub>pbc ligand and coordinates with three water molecules, while Cu2 center is six-coordinated that results in -CuO<sub>6</sub>-CuO<sub>6</sub>-CuO<sub>6</sub>-CuO<sub>6</sub>- double helix structure. Remarkably, the robust SL-1 demonstrates excellent acid and base resistance when soaking in aqueous solution with pH value ranging from 4–12. In addition, after a high temperature process (~100 °C), the water molecules linked by carboxylate anchored Cu node would be released, while the crystalline nature was preserved and almost unchanged. As a result, the exposed and unsaturated Lewis acid active sites can effectively catalyze aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde with yield of 73 % and selectivity of nearly 100 %.
