To spin or not to spin: Four supramolecular isomers based on a [Fe(2,4-bpt)2],guest were synthesised by judicious choice of solvents under solvothermal conditions (see figure). They can be categorised into a 2D spin crossover (SCO) branch and a 3D low-spin (LS) branch (all of them exhibit NbO topology, but one is non-interpenetrated and the other two are twofold interpenetrated). The differences in the supramolecular interactions play important roles in their magnetic behaviour. [source]


Square-grid coordination networks of (5,10,15,20-tetra-4-pyridylporphyrinato)zinc(II) in its clathrate with two guest molecules of 1,2-dichlorobenzene: supramolecular isomerism of the porphyrin self-assembly

The title compound, (5,10,15,20-tetra-4-pyridylporphyrinato)zinc(II) 1,2-dichlorobenzene disolvate, [Zn(C40H24N8)]·2C6H4Cl2, contains a clathrate-type structure. It is composed of two-dimensional square-grid coordination networks of the self-assembled porphyrin moiety, which are stacked one on top of the other in a parallel manner. The interporphyrin cavities of the overlapping networks combine into channel voids accommodated by the dichlorobenzene solvent. Molecules of the porphyrin complex are located on crystallographic inversion centres. The observed two-dimensional assembly mode of the porphyrin units represents a supramolecular isomer of the unique three-dimensional coordination frameworks of the same porphyrin building block observed earlier. The significance of this study lies in the discovery of an additional supramolecular isomer of the rarely observed structures of metalloporphyrins self-assembled directly into extended coordination polymers without the use of external ligand or metal ion auxiliaries.
