Abstract

A new ligand containing a linear sequence of four-tridentate chelating subunits built around alkoxide and pyrimidine bridging groups undergoes a spontaneous self-assembly process with Pb(CF₃SO₃)₂ to produce a unique hexadecanuclear [4 × (2 × 2)] ‘grid of grids’ type structure with external dimensions of 26 Å.
