Bistable copper(II) metallosurfactant as molecular machine for the preparation of hybrid silica-based porous materials

A pH-triggered bistable copper(II) complex acts as a molecular machine in which a molecular movement can be driven by the pH and the complex assumes deprotonate [Cu2L2]4− (1) or protonate form [Cu2(H2L)2] (2), where H2L = N,N′‑2,2′‑ethylenediphenylenebis(oxamic acid). 1 and 2 were used as templates...
