A one-dimensional copper(ii) complex with pyridine-2-sulfonate donors, [{Cu(3-mpSO 3 ) 2 } n ] (3-mpSO 3 = 3-methylpyridine-2-sulfonate), is formed via the air oxidation of 3-mpds (2,2A-bis(3-methylpyridyl)disulfide) in the presence of CuBr 2 , and a mononuclear zinc complex, [Zn(3-mpSO 3 ) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ], which has two-dimensional H-bonded networks and luminescent properties in solid state, is prepared by the reaction of ZnBr 2 with 3-mpSO 3 H.

The reactions of 3-methylpyridine-2-sulfonic acid (3-mpSO 3 H) with Cu II and 4-methylpyridine-2-sulfonic acid (4-mpSO 3 H) with Zn II in water formed one-dimensional infinite coordination polymers,

The novel thia-calix[n]pyridines (n = 3, 4, 6) coordinated to copper ions through nitrogen and sulfur atoms to give multinuclear complexes whose structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectra.
