Magnetic and electrochemical properties of corner-like and grid-like complexes resulting from the self-assembly of two structurally related bis(hydrazones) and iron (II)

Versatility of the Amino Group in Hydrazone‐Based Molecular and Supramolecular Systems

“…In this context, the N−H group allows a completely blocked coordination conformation to be obtained reversibly, which would be indispensable for acquiring immobile information storage states [48] . However, that deprotonation can occur without adding a base, as observed in a previously reported work [49] . Therein, the authors suggested that the obtained grid‐like complex underwent multiple deprotonations in two of its four internal coordinating spheres.…”

“…Recently, without a templated mechanism, two different architectures were obtained from the self‐assembly of two structurally related bis(hydrazones) with Fe(II) under identical reaction conditions [49] . As mentioned earlier, in equimolar reaction media, symmetric bis(hydrazones) with the primary structure py‐pym‐py (pyridine‐pyrimidine‐pyridine) lead to grid‐like complexes (M 4 L 4 ) as a result of their interaction with octahedral metal ions [37,50,51] .…”

“…[48] However, that deprotonation can occur without adding a base, as observed in a previously reported work. [49] Therein, the authors suggested that the obtained grid-like complex underwent multiple deprotonations in two of its four internal coordinating spheres. This would allow correcting the steric hindrance generated by its highly mobile alkyl chains.…”
