Coordination and supramolecular chemistry of aromatic n oxides

Abstract

Aromatic N oxides are a special class of heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing exo cyclic N oxo functionality They are a class of useful ligand for the generation of coordination complexes as well as supramolecular architectures especially coordination polymers Being an exo dentate ligand N oxide possesses a number of coordination and hydrogen bond modes Depending on these possible modes different supramolecular architectures are designed Stability of these architectures is guided by s
