Crystal engineering of metalloporphyrin assemblies. New supramolecular architectures mediated by bipyridyl ligands.
Targeted synthesis of new supramolecular motifs of metalloporphyrins in crystals by a concerted mechanism of molecular recognition in three dimensions, aided by organic ligands, is presented; it involves induced assembly of [tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrinato]zinc species by a combination of axial coordination through bridging bipyridyls and of lateral hydrogen bonding.
