Asymmetric chlorine-bridged zig-zag Cu(II) chains linked together in 2D sheets by strong Watson–Crick type intermolecular double hydrogen bonds of bis(pyrimidin-2-yl)amine ligands: synthesis, structure and antiferromagnetism

“…In the field of supramolecular interactions of coordination compounds not only the direct metal-ligand bonds are of interest, but also hydrogen bonding is of great importance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

A rare 2D structure of a novel Cu(II) dinuclear-based compound with dicyanamide and 4-nitropyridine-N-oxide as ligands

“…Due to the fact that the dca anion itself is a most interesting bridging ligand and has three potential donor sites. As a result the ligand can vary from monodentate to even pentadentate [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].The first generation of magnetically interesting compounds of the type Metal(dca) 2 compounds were, however, quite limited in structural types. Introducing co-ligands various new and exciting structures in the field of crystal engineering showing one-, two-and three-dimensional compounds have been obtained [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
