“…Coordination polymerbased materials can serve as gas adsorbents, [46][47][48] luminescent agents, 9,49 electrochemical or photophysical sensors, 4,50 and electroconductive 5,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] and magnetic materials. 29,59,60 The creation of new anilate-type ligands for the synthesis of CPs, 3,44,59 as well as the preparation of mixed-ligand CPs containing two anionic ligands, 49,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67] is a promising area of research, as it opens the possibility of synthesizing compounds with new topologies and properties. One of the prospective ditopic ligands for the synthesis of new derivatives is the closest analog of anilate ligands containing an extended π-system -4,4′-(1,4-phenylylenebis(azanylylidene))bis (3,6-di-tertbutyl-2-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-dienone) (H 2 L).…”
