Supramolecular heterometallic gels with synergistic properties were prepared for the first time using ligand with Co(2+) and Ni(2+), and their macroscopic self-healing has been achieved by improving the unfavorable viscoelasticity of each monometallic gel.

Luminescent lanthanide compounds stand out for their distinctive characteristics including narrow emission bands, substantial Stokes shifts, high quantum yields, and unique luminescent colors. However, Ln is highly susceptible to vibrational quenching from X-H (X = O/N) high-energy oscillators in the embedded organic antenna, resulting in significant nonradiative energy dissipation of the D excited states of Ln. Herein, we introduce a strategy based on supramolecular interactions to modulate the nonradiative transitions in a new Zn-Tb heterometallic compound, [ZnTb(HL)(NO)Cl]·2CHCN·HO (), based on a phenyl-substituted pyrazolinone-modified salicylamide-imide ligand ().

The construction of supramolecular networks with novel crosslinks is of great significance in expanding their chemical structures and exploring their advanced functions. Herein, we prepare a type of [2]catenane-cored supramolecular networks based on the crosslinking of polyethylene glycol (PEG) using a heterometallic [2]catenane unit. By adjusting the molecular weight of PEG, the solubility of the networks can be tuned and gels are formed using low molecular weight PEG.

Ultra-High Metal-Ion Selectivity Induced by Intramolecular Cation-π Interactions for the One-Pot Synthesis of Precise Heterometallic Architectures.

Heterometallic supramolecules, known for their unique synergistic effects, have shown broad applications in photochemistry, host-guest chemistry, and catalysis. However, there are great challenges to precisely construct heterometallic supramolecules rather than a statistical mixture, due to the limited metal-ion selectivity of coordination units. In particular, heterometallic architectures precisely encoded with different metal ions usually fail to form in a one-pot method when only one type of coordinated motif exists due to its poor metal-ion selectivity.

Maximizing Nanoscale Downshifting Energy Transfer in a Metallosupramolecular Cr(III)-Er(III) Assembly.

Pseudo-octahedral CrN chromophores hold a unique appeal for low-energy sensitization of NIR lanthanide luminescence due to their exceptionally long-lived spin-flip excited states. This allure persists despite the obstacles and complexities involved in integrating both elements into a metallosupramolecular assembly. In this work, we have designed a structurally optimized heteroleptic Cr building block capable of binding rare earths.

Heterometallic-Organic Cages with Customized Cavities: Constructed by Bottom-Up Step-Wise Coordination-Driven Self-Assembly.

Chemistry

November 2024

Department of Organic and Polymer Chemistry, Hunan Key Laboratory of Micro & Nano Materials Interface Science, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410083, China.

Accurately synthesizing coordination-driven metal-organic cages with customized shape and cavity remains a great challenge for chemists. In this work, a bottom-up step-wise coordination-driven self-assembly approach was put forward. Employing this strategy, three terpyridyl heterometallic-organic truncated tetrahedral cages with different sizes and cavity were precisely synthesized.
