Cover Story: The word “terpyridine” is synonymous with the chelating ligand 2,2′:6′,2″-tpy. However, another 47 isomers of terpyridine can be drawn, and 3,2′:6′,3″-tpy is one isomer that is suited to the assembly of coordination polymers. The 3,2′:6′,3”-tpy unit offers three possible planar conformations and with this conformational change comes a change in the vectorial properties of the outer pyridine donors. In this paper, the 3,2′:6′,3”-tpy is functionalized in the 4'-position with a 1,1'-biphenyl group, which bears a 4'-X group (X = H, F, Cl, Br, Me). In [Cu2(μ-OAc)4L]n 1D-coordination polymers (L is a 3,2′:6′,3”-tpy), the increased steric demands of H or F versus Cl, Br, or Me group induce a conformational switch of the 3,2′:6′,3”-tpy metal-binding domain, and a concomitant change in dominant packing interactions.

Few anions exhibit electronically excited states, and, if they do, the one or two possible excitations typically transpire beyond the visible spectrum into the near-infrared. These few, red-shifted electronic absorption features make anions tantalizi...
