Design and synthesis of copper(ii) malonates with N,N′-containing linkers

“…1. Note that only one of the previously reported complexes with Cu( ii ) : L : R 2 mal 2− = 1 : 1 : 1 was isolated, namely [Cu 2 (mal) 2 (bpfp) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·10H 2 O {FOKJEW} 34 with a bent bpfp = bis(4-pyridylformyl)piperazine ligand. One-, two-, and three-periodic architectures were met in 13%, 41%, and 47% of all dicarboxylates.…”
