Molecular tectonics: heterometallic (Ir,Cu) grid-type coordination networks based on cyclometallated Ir(iii) chiral metallatectons†
Abstract
A chiral-at-metal Ir(III) organometallic metallatecton was synthesised as a racemic mixture and as enantiopure complexes and combined with Cu(II) to afford a heterobimetallic (Ir,Cu) grid-type 2D coordination network.
