Self-assembly and supramolecular isomerism in 1D metal-organometallic networks based on transition-metal assemblies from 1,1’-ferrocene-dicarboxylic acid and ancillary nitrogen heterocycle ligands

A series of eight novel 1D metal-organometallic networks of Cu(II)/Co(II)/Cd(II) and Zn(II) bearing bidentate ligands 1,10’-phenanthroline (1,10’-phen), 5,5’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine (5,5’-diMe-2,2’-bipy) and terminal ligand 4-stilbazole (4-Stb) were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and...
