Metal–Ligand Exchange in a Cyclic Array: The Stepwise Advancement of Supramolecular Complexity
摘要:
Herein, we demonstrate how the supramolecular complexity (evaluated by the degree of self-sorting M) evolves in a chemical cycle of cascaded metallosupramolecular transformations, using abiological self-assembled entities as input signals. Specifically, the successive addition of the supramolecular self-assembled structures S1 and (T2 + S2) to the starting supramolecular two-component equilateral triangle Ti (M = 1) first induced a fusion into the three-component quadrilateral R1 (M = 6) and then to the five-component scalene triangle T3 (M = 16). Upon the addition of the supra molecular input M1 to T3, a notable self-sorting event occurred, leading to regeneration of the triangle T1 along with formation of the scalene triangle T4 (M = 25). This last step closed the cycle of the supramolecular transformations.
Scaffolding a Cage-Like 3D Framework by Coordination and Constitutional Dynamic Chemistry
摘要:
By exploiting the supramolecular assistance of a sterically encumbered phenanthroline-Cu+ motif, we report on the self-assembly of a trigonal nanoprism, its post-self-assembly functionalization, and transformation into a cage-like 3D framework with distinct compartments.

phenanthroline-Cu+-picolinaldehyde trio back and forth between homoleptic and heteroleptic coordination using the relative metal-ion to ligand ratio is the basis for an unprecedented cyclic three-state interconversion of metallacycles.
