Abstract
A first report on the self-assembly of novel coordination polymers of the type, [(H2en)(ntpMCl2)]n [MÂ =Â ZnII, CdII, HgII] resulting due to deprotonation of ntp, present as the zwitterion [NH+(CH2CH2COOH)2(CH2CH2COO)â] in aqueous medium, by en leading to the formation of the ditopic anion ntp2â, suggesting that H2en2+ acts as a cation template. The coordination polymers thus resulted involve [ntpMCl2]2â as building units stabilized via hydrogen bonding interactions. X-ray analyses on [(H2en)(ntpZnCl2)]n features four coordinate Zn2+ defined by two oxygen donors from ntp2â ligands and two chloride anions.
