The Role of the Coordination Modes of a Flexible Bis(pyridylamide) Ligand in the Topology of 2D Copper(II) Complexes

Abstract

(4,8)-connected network with {4 14 .6 10 .8 4 }{4 4 .6 2 } topology, in which the L ligands adopt a µ 6 -bridging coordination mode (via ligation of the pyridyl nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen atoms). Adjacent layers in 1 and 2 are further linked by hydrogen bonding interactions to form three-dimensional supramolecular frameworks. The electrochemical behavior of the two complexes in bulk-modified carbon paste electrodes has been investigated.
