Incorporation of 2,6-di(4,4 '-dipyridyl)-9-thiabicyclo[3.3.1] nonane into discrete 2D supramolecules via coordination-driven self-assembly

摘要

The synthesis and characterization of three new supramolecular complexes 6-8 (a rhomboid and two hexagons) via coordination-driven self-assembly are reported in excellent yields (> 90%). These assemblies have 2,6-di(4,4'-dipyridyl)9-thiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane 2 as the bridging tecton. All assemblies were characterized by multinuclear NMR (H-1 and P-31), mass spectrometry (ESI- MS and ESI-FT-ICR), and elemental analysis. The X-ray structure of the 120 tecton 2 is also discussed.
