Solvothermal in situ ligand synthesis through disulfide cleavage: 3D (3,4)-connected and 2D square-grid-type coordination polymers

Inorg Chem. 2006 Jul 24;45(15):5736-8. doi: 10.1021/ic0608041.

Abstract

Two novel coordination polymers, Cu3(4-pyt)3 (1) and Co(4-pyt)2 (2) (4-pyt = pyridine-4-thiolate), have been synthesized by in situ generation of a 4-pyt ligand from a 4,4'-dithiodipyridine precursor through reductive cleavage of the disulfide bond under solvothermal conditions. 1 and 2 exhibit a three-dimensional (3,4)-connected network and a two-dimensional square-grid-type structure, respectively.
