The Ag I ions are dicoordinated in an approximately linear coordination manner with<br />
d(Ag-N) = 2.130(12)-2.228(14) Å; α(N-Ag-N) = 166.4(7)° and 168.8(8)°, and interconnect<br />
each tetranuclear [Fe II 4B4] 8+ unit to four neighbouring units each time by two pyridine-Ag I -<br />
pyridine bridges. Following this coordination scheme, an infinite coordination polymer is<br />
generated as a meander-like interwoven, two-dimensional network. Within this “brickwall”-<br />
like framework, the [Fe II 4B4] 8+ -units are aligned in rows 2.15 nm apart, while the distance<br />
between two neighbouring “brickwalls” is around 1.56 nm (Figure 7).<br />
The represented results show that self-assembly processes using suitably designed<br />
molecular components can be implemented to construct the metallo-supramolecular brick<br />
modules [Fe4A4] 8+ (1) and, [Fe4B4] 8+ (2), displaying both the structural prerequisites which<br />
enable 1 and 2 to undergo a second self-assembly process. This second process leads in both<br />
cases to a hierarchically ordered, either one-dimensional “column”-like {-[Fe II 4A4]-(La III )}n 11+<br />
(3), or two-dimensional “brickwall”-like {-[Fe II 4B4]-(Ag I )4}n 12+ (4) architectures. The<br />
variation of the properties (herein magnetic) of the molecular architectures depending on<br />
progressing hierarchical levels of complexation will be shown in detail in chapter 6.1.<br />
