Self-assembly of a Pd6-molecular double-square and a Cu3-trigonalbipyramidal cage via a new tripodal flexible ligand.
A new tripodal flexible ligand (L) containing pyrazolyl functionality has been prepared and successfully used to obtain a pd(6) (1) molecular double-square and a cu(3) trigonalbipyramidal cage (2), where complex 1 represents the first example of a double-square obtained using a flexible tripodal ligand.
