Coordination-driven self-assembly is an effective synthetic tool for the construction of spatially and electronically tunable supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs), which are useful in various applications. Herein, we report the synthesis of a two-dimensional discrete metalla-rectangle [(--cymene)Ru(CHO)()](CFSO) () by the reaction of a dinuclear half-sandwich ruthenium (II) complex [Ru(--cymene)(CHO)Cl] () and bis-pyridyl amide linker () in the presence of AgOSCF. This cationic ruthenium metalla-rectangle () has been isolated as its triflate salt and characterized by analytical techniques including elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (C-NMR), H-H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), H-H nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY), and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS). Significantly, the 2D cationic ruthenium metalla-rectangle showed better anticancer activity towards three different cell lines (A549, Caki-1 and Lovo) as compared with the parent ruthenium complex () and the commercially used drug, cisplatin.

The hydrogen-bonded arene ruthenium metalla-rectangle, [(p-cymene)2Ru2(OO∩OO)(UPy)2]2(4+), obtained from 1-(4-oxo-6-undecyl-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)-3-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)urea (UPy) and the dinuclear arene ruthenium clip (p-cymene)2Ru2(OO∩OO)Cl2 (OO∩OO = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzoquinonato), is investigated by means of solution-phase NMR spectroscopy. Rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect measurements are used to probe the H-bond network that drives the UPy self-assembly as well as the full rectangular supramolecular system. An effective distance that takes into account both intra- and intermolecular polarization-transfer pathways is utilised for data analysis.

A suite of two new tetraruthenium metallarectangles and have been obtained from [2 + 2] self-assemblies between dipyridylethynyltriptycene and one of the two dinuclear arene ruthenium clips, [Ru (--OO∩OO) (--cymene)][OTf] ; (OO∩OO = oxalate ; 6,11-dihydroxy-5,12-naphthacenedionato (dotq) ; OTf = triflate). These molecular rectangles are fully characterized by H NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry. A single crystal of was suitable for X-ray diffraction structural characterization.

Two new supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs), were obtained from the self-assembly of a new bis-benzimidazole bridged Ru acceptor, , with dipyridyl and tripyridyl donors, respectively. As part of a growing library of anticancer-active Ru-based SCCs, metalla-prism selectively showed high cytotoxicities relative to cisplatin for a series of cancer cell lines, with IC values as low as 8.41 μM for MCF7 cells, as determined from MTS assays.
