Abstract

Reactions of the p-sulfonatothiacalix[4]arene salt (Na4H 4TCAS) and MSO4 (M = Co, Cu) in the presence of 2,2′-bipyrazine (2,2′-bpz) generated 2D coordination networks formed by tetranuclear cluster subunits, namely {[Co(2,2′-bpz)(H 2O)4]2+C[Co4(TCAS)(μ4- SO4)(H2O)4]2-· 10.75H 2O}n (1) and ([Cu(2,2′-bpz)(H2O) 3]2+C[Cu4(TCAS)(μ4-SO 4)(H2O)4]2-·16H 2O}n (2). X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that both these complexes include metal-2,2′-bipyrazine complexes into the hydrophobic cavities of p-sulfonatothiacalix[4]arenes as guests through supramolecular interactions.
