Oligomeric and polymeric organizations of potassium salts with compartmental Schiff-base complexes as ligands†
Abstract
The complexation of K+ ions by mono-metallated bicompartmental Schiff-base complexes in double-decker-type arrangement was found to yield various supramolecular organizations as a function of the associated anions. A series of four [{LMK}n{LM}]n+ aggregates with n = 1, 2, 3, and ∞ are reported (M = Ni2+ or Cu2+; L stands for the Schiff-base). Assembling KNCS with the metallo-
