Six metal–organic architectures from a 5-methoxyisophthalate linker: assembly, structural variety and catalytic features

Abstract

Six new metal(ii) coordination compounds driven by a 5-methoxy isophthalate linker were hydrothermally assembled and fully characterized. Their structural features and catalytic behavior were investigated.

[2 + 2] cycloaddition and its photomechanical effects on 1D coordination polymers with reversible amide bonds and coordination site regulation

“…51,52 As shown in Scheme S3,† H 2 MeOip exhibited multiple coordination modes and deprotonation types. 53 After studying the structure of 1 , we aimed to control the position of pyridine N in the ligand 3-ptpa , reduce steric hindrance, and change the coordination mode between H 2 MeOip and the Cd 2+ ions. This allowed for the bridging of the Cd 2+ ions on the adjacent chains, shortening the distance between two Cd 2+ ions and resulting in a structure with the olefinic ligands arranged in-phase.…”
