Photoactive building blocks for coordination complexes: Gilding 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine

Terpyridine-platinum(II) acetylide complexes bearing pendent coordination units.

Platinum(II) complexes bearing various alkyne-pyrene, alkyne-4'-terpyridine and alkyne-dibutoxyphenylacetylide-terpyridine units were constructed in a step-by-step procedure based on copper-promoted cross-coupling reactions with preconstructed modules; formation of bis(ligand) complexes of Fe(II) and Zn(II) by binding of the pendent terpyridine units provided heterotrinuclear derivatives, all o...

Centripetal molecules as multifunctional building blocks for coordination networks.

Centripetally shaped molecules are crystallized with AgSbF(6) to yield coordination networks featuring novel coordination modes, network connectivity and chiral/helical structures.

Metal complexes of cinchonine as chiral building blocks: a strategy for the construction of nanotubular architectures and helical coordination polymers.

The first chiral bipyridyl-type metalloligands based on aluminum derivatives of cinchonine (CN-H) were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. These bischelate complexes, (CN)(2)AlX [X = Cl (1a), Me (1b)] were found to be effective building blocks for the preparation of novel helical nanotubular architectures as well as chiral bimetallic coordination polymers,...

Dynamic motion of building blocks in porous coordination polymers.

Heteroleptic N6 coordinated ruthenium(II) complexes as building blocks for the formation of discrete Ru2Ag2 complexes.

A heteroleptic N(6) coordinated Ru(II) complex acts as a building block for a discrete tetranuclear mixed metal Ru(II)(2)Ag(I)(2) coordination compound; both complexes have been structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography.
