Abstract
A novel heterometallic diPdII–diCuII grid-chain, {[(bpy)4Pd4Cu2L4](NO3)4}n (2; bpy=2,2′-bipyridine), was synthesized through a programmable self-assembly approach from the molecular corners [(bpy)2Pd2(HL)(L)](NO3) (1) as linkers with CuII nitrate by using the bifunctional H2L ligand featuring primary (pyrazole) and secondary (benzoic acid) groups. Structural analysis revealed that 1D structure 2 consists of one [Cu2(O2CPh)4]n unit as a bridge and two [(bpy)2Pd2L2]n corners. Additionally, the catalytic effect of the heterometallic synergy on the Suzuki coupling reaction by using 2 was further explored.
