Assembly of gold rings and chains with pyridyl carboxylate as directional spacer.
The combinative use of Au(I), a skeletally flexible diphosphine and a bifunctional spacer of pyridyl carboxylate with tunable directional and donor properties has resulted in a series of structurally distinctive ensembles and Au(2) metalloligands with O-donicity.
