2D-Coordination Polymer Containing Interconnected 82-Membered Organotin Macrocycles

Abstract

A two-dimensional coordination polymer [(<i>n</i>-Bu₃Sn)₄(μ-L)₂(4,4′-bipy)]_<i>n</i> (<b>1</b>) was prepared in a reaction between (<i>n</i>-Bu₃Sn)₂O, (<i>E</i>)-5-(pyridin-4-yl-methyleneamino)­isophthalic acid (LH₂), and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy). The structure of <b>1</b> is built by the interlinking of 82-membered macrocyles. The generation of the 2D coordination polymer is facilitated by the multisite coordination capability of the dianionic ligand (L^2–) as well as involvement of 4,4′-bipyridine as an ancillary ligand
