Self-assembled discrete molecular architectures that show selective molecular recognition
within their internal cavities are highly desirable. Such hosts often show guest recognition …

The interest in functional supramolecular systems for the design of innovative materials and
technologies, able to fundamentally change the world, is growing at a high pace. The huge …

The field of metallosupramolecular chemistry has advanced rapidly in recent years. Much
work in this area has focused on the formation of hollow self-assembled metal-organic …

Self-assembly of a cis-blocked Pd (II) 90° ditopic acceptor [cis-(tmeda) Pd (NO3) 2](M) with a
tetradentate donor L 1 [benzene-1, 4-di (4-terpyridine)] in 2: 1 molar ratio yielded two …

Poor processability of fullerenes is a major remaining drawback for them to be studied
monomolecularly and to find real-life applications. One of the strategies to tackle this …

Conspectus The term “clathrochelate” describes a complex in which a coordinatively
saturated metal ion is surrounded by a macropolycyclic ligand. First examples of …

We derive design principles for the assembly of rectangular tetramines into Zn8L6 pseudo‐
cubic coordination cages. Because of the rectangular, as opposed to square, geometry of …

The addition of a metastable-state photoacid to solutions containing metal–ligand
assemblies renders the systems light responsive. Upon irradiation, proton transfer from the …

The utilization of large ligands in coordination-based self-assembly represents an attractive
strategy for the construction of supramolecular assemblies more than two nanometers in …

The reaction of cis-blocked, square-planar MII complexes with tetratopic N-donor ligands is
known to give metallasupramolecular assemblies of the formula M2 n L n. These assemblies …
