A metal-containing synthon for crystal engineering: synthesis of the hydrogen bond ribbon polymer [4,4′-H₂bipy][MCl₄] (M = Pd, Pt)

Abstract

The utility of the cis-MCl₂···HN⁺ chelated hydrogen bond as a synthon in preparation of crystalline [4,4′-H₂bipy][MCl₄] (M = Pd 1, Pt 2) is demonstrated; the structure of 2 contains anions and cations linked by hydrogen bonds to form a ribbon polymer.
