Supramolecular birefringent metallogels formed by trinuclear copper() complexes with myo-inositol and bipyridyl ligands

Birefringent metallohydrogels have been prepared via a supramolecular assembly resulting from the trinuclear copper( ii ) complex of myo-inositol (ins) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), [Cu 3 (ins)(bipy) 3 ]X 3 , in which X has been varied as HCOO − , CH 3 COO − and CH 3 CH 2 COO − . The gel properties in...

Description
Summary:Birefringent metallohydrogels have been prepared via a supramolecular assembly resulting from the trinuclear copper( ii ) complex of myo-inositol (ins) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), [Cu 3 (ins)(bipy) 3 ]X 3 , in which X has been varied as HCOO − , CH 3 COO − and CH 3 CH 2 COO − . The gel properties including T gel are found to have a significant anion dependence. The metallogels have been characterized by thermal analysis and spectroscopic methods. The SEM analysis has indicated the presence of a fibrous supramolecular assembly. The metallogels were found to be highly birefringent and organize into quaternary structures that display unique patterns in the microscopic studies under polarized light. Birefringent metallohydrogels have been prepared by a fibrous supramolecular assembly resulting from the trinuclear copper( ii ) complexes of myo-inositol (ins) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), [Cu 3 (ins)(bipy) 3 ]X 3 , with formate, acetate and propionate as anions, X.
