Self‐Assembly and Structure of a 3 × 3 Inorganic Grid from Nine Silver Ions and Six Ligand Components

Abstract

The self-assembly of fifteen components at one go—nine Ag+ ions and six rigid, linear 6,6′-bis[2-(6-methylpyridyl)]-3,3′-bipyridazine ligands—leads to formation of a 3 × 3 grid, a schematic representation of which is shown on the right. This type of inorganic supramolecular structure is expected have novel physical properties and open up new possibilities for information storage.
