Depending on the configuration of the metal unit ( cis or trans ) and the sequence of coordination by six‐membered heterocycles uracil, 1‐methylcytosine, and 2‐amino‐pyridine, complexes of different topologies—open box, rectangle, or hexagon—are obtained (see below). These complexes contain six or eight metal units (with Pt II , Ni II , Pd II , Cu II , or Ag I ; represented by spheres) in unusual relative arrangements.
