On the importance of π-stacking interactions in the complexes of copper and zinc bearing pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid N-oxide and N-donor auxiliary ligands

Abstract

Three coordination complexes {[Cu(pydco)(pz)0.5(H2O)]·H2O}n (1), [Cu(pydco)(phen)(H2O)]·2H2O (2), and [Zn2(pydco)(phen)2Cl2]∙2H2O (3) have been synthesized at room temperature using a mixed-ligand system including pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid N-oxide (H2pydco) as O-donor as well as...
