[2 × 2] metallo-supramolecular grids based on 4,6-bis((1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-pyridin-2-yl)-2-phenylpyrimidine ligands: from discrete [2 × 2] grid structures to star-shaped supramolecular polymeric architectures

Abstract

The self-assembly of bis-tridentate ligands leads to the spontaneous formation of [2x2] grid-like metal complexes. However, the synthesis of such ligands is rather cumbersome. In the work, we demonstrate a...
