The new complex of [H2en][Cu(pydc)2].2H2O (1) (where H2en and pydc are ethylenediammonium and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate, respectively) was synthesized by the reaction of a mixture of ethylenediamine (en) and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (H2pydc) in a mixture of CH3OH/H2O as solvent. This complex was fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-...

Biological structures are stabilized by a variety of noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, π –stacking, salt bridges or hydrophobic interactions. Besides hydrogen bonds and π– stacking, cation–π interactions between aromatic rings and positively charged groups have emerged as one of the most important interactions in structural biology. Although the role and energetic characteristic...
