The reaction of aqueous [PdCl4]2−withN-4-Xphenyloxamate ligands (X = F, Cl, Br) afforded three non-isostructural compounds exhibiting intriguing diverse supramolecular assemblies driven by hydrogen bonds and/or halogen⋯halogen interactions.
A two-step strategy consisting of on-surface synthesis and supramolecular assembly is developed for constructing low-dimensional molecular nanostructures on surfaces.
