Self-assembly of 1D mixed-metal tubular network with coordination bonds through the interconnection of organometallic metallamacrocycles by Ag(i) centers

Abstract

The combination of a ditopic ligand containing a functional “third site” as a bridge and organometallic half-sandwich iridium unit Cp*Ir as the corner leads to the formation of the tetranuclear metallamacrocycle 1, which is reacted with silver compound, resulting in the formation of mixed-metal infinitely tubular coordination network 2.
