1- and 2-D Coordination Networks Based on Porphyrin and Copper: an Example of Supramolecular Isomerism

Abstract

A high-yield synthesis of atropoisomers of the meso-tetrakis(o-isonicotinoylamidophenyl)porphyrin was achieved. Depending on the crystallising solvent system, the α2β2 atropoisomer leads to the formation of either 1-D or 2-D coordination networks in the presence of Cu(OAc)2.
