Description
Summary:A new water soluble heterometallic polymeric complex [{(PTA)2 CpRu-l-CN-1jC:2j2N-RuCp(PTA)2}-l-{Au(CN)4}4]n 2H2O (1) is synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This complex self-assembles forming 3D polymeric structures with large scale hexagonal conformation. They also organize as 3D stacks of polymer sandwiches that can be exfoliated providing mono heterometallic-3D layers, as shown by electron microscopy. Regarding the polymer dynamics, quasi-elastic neutron scattering shows a transition from vibrational Debye–Waller behaviour to a more dynamically active state as a result of the loss of structural water molecules.
