Self-Assembly of Antiferromagnetically-Coupled Copper(II) Supramolecular Architectures with Diverse Structural Complexities

The self-assembly of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol (<b>DFMP</b>) and 1-amino-2-propanol (<b>AP</b>)/2-amino-1,3-propanediol (<b>APD</b>) in the presence of copper(II) ions results in the formation of six new supramolecular architectures containing two versatile doub...
