A multiple hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional supramolecular architecture composed of a unique three-fold interlocked anionic Zn(ii)-coordination architecture

Abstract

An unprecedented three-dimensional multiple hydrogen bonded supramolecular framework containing an interlocked three-fold self-knitting structural topology, which is based on a pseudo graphene-like unweaving monolayer of a Zn(II)-coordination complex, is obtained via a solvothermal synthesis method. Two different large cavities are generated in this supramolecular architecture. Furthermore, the investigation of the Hirshfeld surface analysis reproduces the results of an X-ray crystal structure analysis and expounds the intermolecular interactions experienced by complexes in a visual manner.
