An unusual 3D three-fold parallel interpenetrating network self-assembled from the grid-containing 2D layer motifs

The new complex {[Cu(dde)(bpe)] · H2O}n (1) (dde = 4,4′-dicarboxydiphenyl ether, bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene) has been synthesized and characterized. It exhibits a novel (2D → 3D) three-fold parallel interpenetrating architecture that is obtained for the first time from the self-assembly of grid-containing 2D (4, 4) layer motifs. The fluorescent property of 1 is discussed.

A novel three dimensional interpenetrating architecture that is obtained from the first time from the self-assembly of grid-containing 2D layer motifs, which revealed the flexible V-shaped dicarboxylic acid and rigid N-containing ligand can also construct interpenetrating network.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
