Metal-mediated coordination polymer nanotubes of 5,10,15,20-tetrapyridylporphine and tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine at the water–chloroform interface

Abstract

Coordination polymer nanotubes have been prepared by using the Hg2+-mediated co-assembly of two ligands, tetrapyridylporphine (TPyP) and tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPyTa), at the water-chloroform interface.

Porous Porphyrin Nanoarchitectures on Surfaces

“…The same group also used H 2 TPyP molecules with different assembly-mediating metal ions (Cd 2+ , PtCl 6 2-/ PtCl 4 2-, Ag + , and Hg 2+ ). [58][59] It should be noted that, in this case, the metal ion aqueous solution was added onto the H 2 TPyP chloroform solution. In this procedure, the order of the layers is inverted relative to that in the general LB fabrication method.…”

Multi-scale crystal engineering of metal organic frameworks

“…Hence, the slow diffusion of the reagents between two immiscible phases leads to a very efficient interfacial reaction and provide a defect-free junction. The slow diffusion of TPyP-TPyTa (TPyP = Tetrapyridylporphyrine; TPyTa = tris(4-pyridyl)1,3,5-triazine) chloroform solution into a HgCl 2 aqueous solution at room temperature leads to well-defined nanotube structures with a diameter about 60-80 nm and wall thickness about 15-25 nm [195].…”

“…Moreover, the self-assembly at the air-solid interface has been successfully used to control the molecular arrangement in two dimensions [45,46]. Recently, metal-mediated multiporphyrin nanocrystals and coordination polymer nanotubes of tetrapyridylporphin compounds have been successfully grown at the water-chloroform interface [47,48].…”
