Heterometal–organic supramolecular architectures which consist of two or more kinds of metal ions with organic ligands have attracted considerable research interest in modern coordination chemistry. This is due to their wide range of possible applications, e.g., in supramolecular magnetism, catalysis, or sensing.
Shu-Yan Yu, Jin Tong, Beijing University of Technology, China, and colleagues have developed a strategy for a programmable self-assembly method that allows the synthesis of heterometal–organic supramolecules by using bifunctional ligands H
Using this approach, the team synthesized a heterometallic palladium(II)–copper(II) 1D grid-chain (structure pictured), composed of [Cu2(O2CPh)4]
