Novel molecular architecture constructed on the skeleton of salen and salophen containing Zn(II) 2,2′-bipyridyl

The complexes of Zn(II)2,2′-bipyridine diacetate with salen (LH2) and salophen (L′H2) have been characterized in which complex with L′H2 in DMSO has yielded a novel one-dimensional molecular architecture of micrometer length.
