2D → 2D Parallel interpenetration of (4,4) sheets constructed from a ditopic bis(4,2′:6′,4′′-terpyridine)†
Abstract
The ditopic ligand 1,4-bis(n-octyloxy)-2,5-bis(4,2′:6′,4′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzene reacts with ZnCl2 to give 2-dimensional (4,4) nets with a corrugated topology facilitating interpenetration in a 2D → 2D parallel manner.
