Synthetic Approaches to Metallo-Supramolecular Co Polygons and Potential Use for HO Oxidation.

Metal-directed self-assembly has been applied to prepare supramolecular coordination polygons which adopt tetrahedral () or trigonal disklike topologies (). In the solid state, assembles into a stable halide-metal-organic material (), which catalyzes HO oxidation under photo- and electrocatalytic conditions, operating with a maximum TON = 78 and TOF = 1.26 s.
