The efficient backbone-directed self-assembly of cyclic metalla[3]catenanes by the combination of tetrachloroperylenediimide (TCPDI)-based dinuclear rhodium(III) clips and 4,4'-diazopyridine or 4,4'-dipyridylethylene ligands is realized in a single-step strategy. The topology and coordination geometry of the cyclic metalla[3]catenanes are characterized by NMR spectroscopy, ESI-TOF-MS spectrometry, UV/Vis-NIR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction studies. The most remarkable feature of the formed cyclic metalla[3]catenane is that it contains π-aggregates (ca. 2.6 nm) incorporating six TCPDIs. Further studies revealed that cyclic metalla[3]catenanes can be converted reversibly to their corresponding sodium adducts and precursor building blocks, respectively. This strategy opens the possibility of generating unique supramolecular structures from discrete functional π-aggregates with precise arrangements.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the creation of metalla-links, which are complex structures made up of molecular Borromean rings and cyclic catenanes, achieved through specific chemical interactions.
- These structures were synthesized using unique tri-methoxyl-dinuclear complexes as cationic guests, leading to high yield formations.
- The arrangement and type of metalla-links were meticulously controlled by choosing two different dipyridyl ligands, with their configuration analyzed using X-ray crystallography and advanced NMR techniques.

One fascinating and challenging synthetic target in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules is the family of linear [4]catenanes, which are topologically identical to the logo of automobile maker Audi. Herein, we report an "all-in-one" synthetic strategy for the synthesis of linear metalla[]catenanes ( = 2-4) by the coordination-driven self-assembly of Cp*Rh-based (Cp* = η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) organometallic rectangle π-donors and tetracationic organic cyclophane π-acceptors. We selected the pyrenyl group as the π-donor unit, leading to homogeneous metalla[2]catenanes and cyclic metalla[3]catenanes via π-stacking interactions.
