Organic cations controlling the nuclearity of copper(ii) 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylates

What is it about?

Layer-like structures generated from complexes of 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acids are shown. The cation exchange, proton conductivity and effect of cations regulating inter-layer separation is shown. The role of cations to make different neuclearity complexes are revealed.

Why is it important?

Importance is the understanding of layer-like structures and possible control of inter-layer separation by changing cations. It is shown that the depending on cations the nuclearity of metal complex can be changed. The packing pattern analysis shows that the complementary hydrogen bond effect of the cationic part with anions along with the interplay of weak interaction guides the inter layer separation and nuclearity of complexes.
