Chiral Supramolecular Assemblies Derived from the Insertion of a Segmental Ligand into a Copper-Tyrosine Framework

Abstract

The use of a predisposed 4,4-bipyridine segmental ligand in copper-tyrosine chiral complex self-assembly processes allows the preparation of a new type of complex {[Cu2(tyrosine)2(4,4-bipyridine)·2H2O]·2ClO4}n, which results in the fine tuning of network structure and stereo conformation.
