Nickel(II) based homo- vs heterometallic 1D coordination polymers derived from a novel 6-aminouracil building block : structures, topologies, non-covalent interactions, magnetism, and antibacterial activity

A new azo-ligand, 1,3-dimethyl-5-(p-carboxy-phenylazo)-6-aminouracil (H3L) containing 6-aminouracil (a biomolecule) and a carboxylic function (a potential linker) was synthesized. This ligand was then employed for complexation with Ni(II), resulting in the Ni(II)/Na(I) heterometallic {[NiNa2(μ-HL)2(...
