Two new tetrafacial nanotubes ( and ) of different lengths have been synthesized in water using ligands and , respectively, with acceptor -[()Pt(NO)] () using coordination-driven self-assembly [where is 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, is 1,4-di(pyrimidin-5-yl)benzene, and is 4,4'- di(pyrimidin-5-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl]. In addition to complex , a tetrahedral cage of composition [M(L1)] () was also formed in the self-assembly reaction of ligand with -[()Pt(NO)]. The precise composition of the products ( and ) in solution was confirmed by H NMR and ESI-MS. Pure tube was separated out by a crystallization technique and fully characterized by H NMR and X-ray diffraction. Temperature- and concentration-dependent NMR studies indicated no equilibrium between and in the solution phase, and the proportion of and in the mixture depends on the temperature of the reaction. In contrast to ligand , the self-assembly of the longer ligand, , with -[()Pt(NO)] gave only tetrafacial tube [M(L2)] () without any tetrahedral cage.

Construction of metal-organic cages (MOCs) with internal modifications is a promising avenue to build enzyme-like cavities and unlocking the mystery of highly catalytic activity and selectivity of enzymes. However, current interests are mainly focused on single-metal-node cages, little achievement has been expended to metallocluster-based architectures, and the in situ endogenous generation of metal clusters. Herein, based on the hard-soft-acids-bases (HSAB), the metallocluster-based heterometallic MOC (CuVMOP) constructed of [CuOPz] and [VO(OCH)(SO)(CO)] clusters was obtained by one-pot method.

This paper describes the use of the layered conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) (nickel)-(hexahydroxytriphenylene) [Ni(HHTP)] as a model system for understanding the process of self-assembly within this class of materials. We confirm and quantify experimentally the role of the oxidant in the synthetic process. Monitoring the deposition of Ni(HHTP) with infrared spectroscopy revealed that MOF formation is characterized by an initial induction period, followed by linear growth with respect to time.

Numerous metallo-supramolecules with well-defined sizes and shapes have been successfully constructed via the strong coordination interaction between terpyridine (TPY) moieties and ruthenium cations. However, the pseudo-octahedral geometry of unit hampers the luminescent properties of such metallo-architectures, thus limiting their applications as optical materials. To address this issue, we herein use a flexible alkyl chain to bridge TPY building blocks, replacing conventional linkage.

Article Synopsis
  • The reaction of four 1,2-dibromoxylenes with two tetra-3-pyridylporphyrins resulted in the creation of a metal-free organic nanocage (oNC) that was produced in a highly efficient 91.5% yield.
  • The synthesized oNC was subsequently metalated with cobalt(II), copper(II), and nickel(II) ions to produce dinuclear complexes, which were characterized using various analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.
  • The cofacial cobalt porphyrins showed significant potential as catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction, demonstrating high selectivity for producing hydroxyl during electrochemical processes, while the robust architecture of the oNC allows for potential applications with

Synthesis of interlocked supramolecular cages has been a growing field of interest due to their structural diversity. Herein, we report the template-free synthesis of a Ru(II) triply interlocked [2] catenane using coordination-driven self-assembly. The self-assembly of a triazine-based tripyridyl donor (2,4,6-tris(5-(pyridin-4-yl)thiophen-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine) with a dinuclear Ru(II) acceptor (Ru(dhnq)(η--cymene))(CFSO)) yielded two distinct structures depending on the solvent and concentration.
