C. Bazzicalupi et al., Supramolecular assembling of dizinc macrocyclic complexes with thymine anduracil - The role of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, EUR J INORG, (3), 2001, pp. 629-632
A binuclear Zn-II complex with an oxa-aza macrocyclic ligand can bind two d
eprotonated thymine or uracil moieties, giving versatile building blocks fo
r the assembly of supramolecolar structures, by hydrogen bond pairing of th
e nucleobases.
