Metal cation-dependent helicity of two 1-D heterometal chains constructed from pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate
Two interesting 1D heterometal chain-like compounds from pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)PDA) and AgNO3 as well as ZnCl2/SmCl3, namely [ZnAg(PDA)(2)(mu(2)-H2O)center dot(H3O)(+)center dot(H2O)(0.25)](n) (1) and [SmAg(PDA)(2)(H2O)(3)center dot 3H(2)O]n (2), have been solvothermally synthesized by fine control synthetic conditions, and structural...
