Abstract:
A novel heterometallic diPdII -diCuII grid-chain, {[(bpy)4 Pd4 Cu2 L4 ](NO3 )4 }n (2; bpy=2,2'-bipyridine), was synthesized through a programmable self-assembly approach from the molecular corners [(bpy)2 Pd2 (HL)(L)](NO3 ) (1) as linkers with CuII nitrate by using the bifunctional H2 L ligand featuring primary (pyrazole) and secondary (benzoic acid) groups. Structural analysis revealed that 1D structure 2 consists of one [Cu2 (O2 CPh)4 ]n unit as a bridge and two [(bpy)2 Pd2 L2 ]n corners. Additionally, the catalytic effect of the heterometallic synergy on the Suzuki coupling reaction by using 2 was further explored.
