The desolvation of lattice methanol from between the 1D chains in {[Cu(4,4'-bipyridine)(ccnm)(2)].4MeOH} (ccnm = carbamoylcyanonitrosomethanide) under ambient conditions, a weight loss of 22.4%, results in a solid state conversion to the 3D network [Cu(4,4'-bipyridine)(ccnm)(2)].

A series of supramolecular assemblies of the type [Ru(L-L)2(L'-L)MX2)](n+) are reported where L-L is 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), 4,4'-di-tetra-butyl-bipyridine (tbbipy) or 4,4'-diethoxycarbonyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dceb), L-L' is tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-h:2''',3'''-j]phenazine (tpphz), 2,2':5',2''-terpyridine (2,5-bpp), 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, (2,6-bpp), 2,5-di(pyridine-2-yl)pyrazine (2,5-dp...

The effects of anchoring groups on electron injection from adsorbate to nanocrystalline thin films were investigated by comparing injection kinetics through carboxylate versus phosphonate groups to TiO2 and SnO2. In the first pair of molecules, Re(LA)(CO)3Cl (ReC1A) and Re(Lp)(CO)3Cl (ReC1P), [LA=2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-bis-CH2-COOH, Lp=2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-bis-CH2-PO3H2], the anchoring groups wer...

The title complex, {[Cu(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(C(25)H(22)P(2))(2)](BF(4))(2)·2.5CH(2)Cl(2)}(n), contains chains of Cu(I) centres bridged alternately by two (diphenyl-phosphino)methane (dppm) and 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands. Each Cu(I) atom is coordinated by one N atom of 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) and two P atoms of two (diphenyl-phosphino)methane (dppm) ligand, and has a trigonal-planar coordination g...

In the title compound, [Cd(HCOO)(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cd(II) ion, located on a position with 2.22 site symmetry, is surrounded by two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands and four formate ligands in a distorted octahedral CdN(2)O(4) coordination. The 4,4'-bipyridine ligands bridge the metal ions, forming one-dimensional chains along different directions, which are further connected by formate ligands ...

A series of cationic metalla-rectangles of the general formula [(p-cymene)(4)Os(4)(OO[intersection]OO)(2)(N[intersection]N)(2)](4+) have been obtained in methanol from the dinuclear arene osmium precursors [(p-cymene)(2)Os(2)(OO[intersection]OO)(2)Cl(2)] (OO[intersection]OO = 2,5-dioxydo-1,4-benzoquinonato (dhbq), 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinonato (dcbq)) by reaction with bipyridine linkers (N[in...
