1D Chain Crystal Structure of Copper(II) Oxalate Containing a 4,4'-Bipyridine and 1,10-Phenanthroline Ligands: [Cu2(ox)(4,4'-bpy)(phen)2](NO3)2

摘要

Recently much attention has been paid to design and synthesis of metal-organic hybrid materials with fascinating network topologies " and potential applications as functional materials. The most commonly used strategy for designing such materials relies on the utilization of multidentate N- or O-donor ligands which have the capacity to bridge between metal centers to form polymeric structures. For example, 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) is an excellent ligand and a number of one-, two-and three-dimensional infinite metal-4,4'-bpy frameworks have been generated. Multi-carboxylates as important flexible spacer ligands have also been used to form metal-organic frameworks (MOF), due to their conformational and coordination versatility.
