different metal atoms are involved in the coordination
assembly process. The successful preparation of this
heteroleptic, multi-metallic, discrete molecular architecture, in
nearly quantitative yield, demonstrates the ease of access to
novel and diverse complex supramolecular materials
possessing differing, logically positioned, <tpy-M2+-tpy>
linkages within the structural framework.
