Different 3D supramolecular architectures were formed by the reaction of metallo-organic ligands, with the structure variation determined by the position of the bisterpyridines in the ligand.
The reaction of a metallo-organic ligand (LA) in which two V-shaped bisterpyridines attaching to meta-position of X-shaped tetraterpyridine via connectivity and Zn2+ ions gave rise to 3D supramolecular architectures: octagram (Zn(8)LA(4)). However, a position varied ligand (LB) in which two V-shaped bisterpyridines locating at the ortho-position of X-shaped tetraterpyridine afforded a different 3D hexagram (Zn6LB3). Full characterizations included NMR (H-1, C-13, 2D COSY, NOESY and DOSY), ESI-MS, TWIM-MS, TEM and AFM. The resulted structures were directly determined by the position of two V-shaped bisterpyridines attaching to X-shaped tetraterpyridine.
