Supramolecular extended systems based on discrete paddle-wheel shaped metal-adeninate entities

The present work deals with the design and construction of supramolecular extended systems. It reports a new compound of formula 3[Cu2(μ-adeninato-κN3:κN9)4(H2O)2]·2{(NHEt3)2(SO4)}·10H2O·2CH3OH (1) in which the assembly of the neutral dimeric entities gives rise to two interpenetrated supramolecular networks: an open 3D architecture and 1D linear chains.83
