“…This bonding feature, when combined with the flexibility and length of molecular backbone within these ligands, can lead to the construction of porous coordination compounds (Gao et al, 2003;Hagrman et al, 1999;Li et al, 2017). A variety of heterocyclic nitrogenderivative complexes with interesting properties and topologies have been synthesized using ligands such as 4,4 0 -bipyridine (Fujita et al, 1994), an asymmetric triazole dicarboxylate ligand (Hao et al, 2018), 5-(pyridine-3-yl)pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (Cheng et al, 2016), 2-[4-(1H-imidazole-1-ylmethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl] acetic acid (Yu et al, 2016) and 2,2 0 -dihydroxy-[1,1 0 ]binaphthalenyl-3,3 0 -dicarboxylate (Zheng et al, 2004). Heterocyclic ligands containing aromatic systems continue to attract our interest because they can form variousstacking interactions between pyridine rings and direct the crystal packing and molecular assembly (Tomura & Yamashita, 2001;Li et al, 2012…”
