“…In this regard, pyridine dicarboxylic acids have been shown to be interesting and versatile ligands [16,17], as they exhibit various coordination modes, and have been used to prepare a variety of structures with different dimensionalities [18,19]. However unlike pyridine-2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-and 3,4-, dicarboxylic acids [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] which are widely reported as bridging ligands in the assembly of various coordination polymer complexes, pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid acts as a chelating bidentate and bridging ligand (Scheme 1) to form rare discrete, 1-D chain, 2-D layer and 3-D structures [19,[40][41][42].…”
