A novel supramolecular adduct formed by CB[6]-based pseudo-rotaxane and hydrated Zn(II) ion

A novel supramolecular adduct of [C6N2(CB[6])]3 · [Zn(H2O)6]Cl2 · 14H2O (1) is reported, where C6N2 = N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,6-diaminohexane, CB[6] = Cucurbit[6]uril. It consists of a CB[6]-based pseudo-rotaxane and a six-hydrated Zn(II) ion, and forms an infinite 2D network and 3D spatial structure by hydrogen bonding interactions.

A novel supramolecular adduct prepared by a pseudo-rotaxane [(H2C6N2)(CB[6])](NO3)2 and hydrated Zn(II) ion is reported. An infinite 2D network structure of the adduct was formed by the hydrogen bond.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
