The pyridine core is ubiquitous in natural products and widely used for the construction of supramolecular structures [1]. We analyzed coordination compounds of mono- and bivalent pyridines with Cu(II) and Zn(II) by SFM based single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) in aqueous solutions. Using the Bell-Evans-Kramers model we determined surprisingly long rupture lengths from 0.25 nm for the monovalent pyridin with Cu(II) up to 0.52 nm for the bivalent pyridine with Cu(II). DFT calculations suggest a stepwise dissociation through an intermediate product in which a water ligand inserts in between the pyridine and metal ion. Such process is different to the known solvent-ligand-exchange mechanism of a pyridine-palladium complex in DMSO with a rupture length of only 0.17 - 0.19 nm [2]. Therefore additional water ligands may attribute to the mechanical properties of metallosupramolecular compounds and their corresponding natural systems.
