Supramolecular self-assembled coordination architecture composed of a doubly bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazolate bridged dinuclear CuII complex and 7,7′,8,8′,-tetracyano-p-quinodimethanide radicals†
Abstract
The reaction of a doubly bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazolate (bpypz−) bridged dinuclear cationic copper(II) complex with 7,7′,8,8′-tetracyano-p-quinodimethanido radicals (TCNQ˙−) afforded a tetranuclear complex, [Cu4(μ-bpypz)4(μ-TCNQ)2](TCNQ)2 (1), which self-assembles into a three-dimensional supramolecular coordination architecture via complementary weak coordination bonding and π–π stacking interactions.
