Synthesis, structure, and characterization of a series of Ag(i), Cu(ii) and Ni(ii) complexes based on 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiodiazole

New coordination features; a bridging pyridine and the forced shortest non-covalent distance between two CO32−species

“…In such cases, these species usually act essentially as spacers between metals or are subtended by metal ions conforming the external surface of a cage. [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] In lesser occasions, the incorporated CO 3 2À moieties may be rather considered as being encapsulated inside the coordination cage. [47][48][49][50][51] In any case, two carbonate anions have never been forced to lie so close to each other as within complex 2.…”

Series of coordination polymers based on 4-(5-sulfo-quinolin-8-yloxy) phthalate and bipyridinyl coligands: Structure diversity and properties

“…S3b. This is compared to the reported 1D chain structure of the complexes based on 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiodiazole3 [36], and this is distinguished from the 1D liner chain in 1. The chains mentioned above are further crosslinked into regular 2D network by rigid bpe ligands, as displayed in Fig.…”

A Series of d10 Metal Clusters Constructed by 2,6-Bis[3-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazolyl]pyridine: Crystal Structures and Unusual Luminescences

“…The recent upsurge in the interest in designing and fabricating polynuclear clusters of 3d metal ions has been strongly encouraged by their attractive structures and versatile applications . Up to now, various polynuclear clusters with fascinating architectures and functional properties have been designed and assembled by the careful selection of basic components, such as the structure of chelating ligands, metal centers, anions, and solvents . Among the reported polynuclear transition-metal clusters, two outstanding strategies have been developed for the self-assembly of molecular structures .…”
