Molecular tectonics: generation and structural studies on 1- and 2D coordination networks based on a meta-cyclophane in 1,3-alternate conformation bearing four pyrazolyl units and cobalt, zinc and copper cations
By combining enantiomerically pure tectons with Cd(NO3)2, a series of six new homochiral luminescent coordination networks are formed. The dimensionality and crystal packing of the latter are modulated by both the nature of the chiral side chains and the crystallization solvents.
Combinations of six new tetrakis-pyrazolyl appended calix[4]arenes derivatives, blocked in 1,3-A conformation as coordinating tectons, with AgX salts (X = NO3−, BF4−, XF6− (X = P, As and Sb)) lead to nine new silver coordination networks.
Combinations of a Pt(ii) organometallic linear tecton with 4-connecting MX2salts lead to the formation of heterobimetallic (Pt,M) 2D grid tape architectures.
