Broadening the scope of high structural dimensionality nanomaterials using pyridine-based curcuminoids Rodríguez Cid, Laura Choquesillo Lazarte, Duane This work has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 R&D programme (ERC-724981). We also acknowledge the Spanish Government, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (projects CTQ2017-83632, CTQ2015-68370-P, PGC2018-098630-B-I00, MAT2016-77852-C2-1-R, CTQ2016-75150-R, PGC2018-098630B-I00, PGC2018-102047-B-I00 and Ramon y Cajal grant RYC-2017-22910) and the Generalitat de Catalunya for the grant 2017SGR1277. The work at the University of Chile was supported by ANID, Fondecyt Regular Project 1201962 and 1161775 (M. S.). C. D., N. A.-A., A. L.-P., A. G.-C., and L. R.-C. acknowledge the financial support through the "Severo Ochoa" program for Centres of Excellence in R&D (SEV-2015-0496) under the FUNMAT-FIP-2016 fellowship. Some of the experiments were performed at the XALOC46 and NCD-SWEET beamlines of the ALBA synchrotron with the support of ALBA staff and at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) synchrotron. The Advanced Light Source is supported by the Director, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences of the U.S. Department of Energy under contract no. DE-AC0205CH11231. This work (L. R.-C.) has been done in the framework of the doctoral program "Chemistry" of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. We present a new heteroditopic ligand (3pyCCMoid) that contains the typical skeleton of a curcuminoid (CCMoid) decorated with two 3-pyridyl groups. The coordination of 3pyCCMoid with Zn-II centres results in a set of novel coordination polymers (CPs) that display different architectures and dimensionalities (from 1D to 3D). Our work analyses how synthetic methods and slight changes in the reaction conditions affect the formation of the final materials. Great efforts have been devoted toward understanding the coordination entities that provide high dimensional systems, with emphasis on the characterization of 2D materials, including analyses of different types of substrates, stability and exfoliation in water. Here, we foresee the great use of CCMoids in the field of CPs and emphasize 3pyCCMoid as a new-born linker. 2021-05-27T12:18:14Z 2021-05-27T12:18:14Z 2021-04-29 journal article Dalton Trans., 2021,50, 7056-7064.
