Description

2-Hydroxy-5-methylisophthalaldehyde is a tetranuclear coordination compound with a tridentate ligand. The ligand can bind to three metal ions in the same way as an octahedral geometry, but the fourth nitrogen atom is not coordinated and can be replaced by other ligands. Two of these compounds have been synthesized and their structures determined by x-ray crystallography. The ligands are planar and form hydrogen bonds, which contribute to the high stability of these compounds. These properties may be useful for biological studies, such as synchronous fluorescence and intramolecular hydrogen transfer, as well as for catalysis and chemical sensing.
