Steric control over supramolecular aggregation is demonstrated for a series of adducts formed between Zn(S2COR)(2) and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, whereby supramolecular zigzag polymers are found when R is small, that is, Et (1) and n-Bu (2). but only bimetallic aggregates Could be formed when...
