Coordination polymers (CP) assembled from 3,3',5,5'-tetrasubstituted 4,4'-bipyridines and silver salts have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Silver-CPs based on infinite Ag-bipyridine chains were obtained where one or two halogen atoms strongly interacted with Ag. A homochiral MOF was also prepared using the enantiopure 3,3'-dibromo-5,5'-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,4'-bipyridine as ligand, while its racemic form only formed a compact CP. Preliminary applications showed that the homochiral network is able to recognize the enantiomers of rac-styrene oxide and to control the cytotoxicity level of the Ag-based MOF toward a cell line derived from adult human skin (HaCaT).

Abstract
Coordination polymers (CP) assembled from 3,3',5,5'-tetrasubstituted 4,4'-bipyridines and silver salts have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Silver-CPs based on infinite Ag-bipyridine chains were obtained where one or two halogen atoms strongly interacted with Ag. A homochiral MOF was also prepared using the enantiopure 3,3'-dibromo-5,5'-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,4'-bipyridine as ligand, while its racemic form only formed a compact CP. Preliminary applications showed that the homochiral network is able to recognize the enantiomers of rac-styrene oxide and to control the cytotoxicity level of the Ag-based MOF toward a cell line derived from adult human skin (HaCaT).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
