Abstract

We have successfully crystallized four new non-molecular coordination solids utilizing the synthons–Cu–OSO3– and –Cu–Cl– in the presence of four organic ligands:[{Cu(pz)4SO4}{Cu(pz)4SO4 (H2O)}]. H2O2, [Cu(imi)4SO4]3, [Cu(imi)4(NO3)2]4 and [Cu(glu)Cl(H2O)]5. Use of glutamic acid resulted in two chiral coordination polymers 5 and [Cu(glu)(H2O)]. H2O 6 depending on the copper source. The paper provides chemical insights to the supramolecular aggregation of a crystal driven by the various competing intermolecular forces.

Crystallization of chiral coordination polymers engineered through extended copper glutamate interactions.
