Two fascinating triply interlocked [2]catenanes and one simple triangular prism metallacage were constructed by tuning the widths of the organometallic dinuclear building blocks. Notably, the interlocked architectures were disassembled in the presence of large aromatic molecules to form their corresponding monomeric host-guest complexes.

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.

Triply interlocked [2]catenane complexes featuring two identical, mechanically interlocked units are extraordinarily rare chemical compounds, whose properties and applications remain open to detailed studies. Herein, we introduce the rational design of a new ligand precursor, L1, suitable for the synthesis of six triply interlocked [2]catenanes by coordination-driven self-assembly. The interlocked compounds can be reversibly converted into the corresponding simple triangular prism metallacage by addition of HO or DMF solvents to their CHOH solutions, thereby demonstrating the importance of π⋅⋅⋅π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions in the formation of triply interlocked [2]catenanes.

Incorporating chiral elements in host-guest systems currently attracts much attention because of the major impact such structures may have in a wide range of applications, from pharmaceuticals to materials science and beyond. Moreover, the development of multi-responsive and -functional systems is highly desirable since they offer numerous benefits. In this context, we describe herein the construction of a metal-driven self-assembled cage that associates a chiral truxene-based ligand and a bis-ruthenium complex.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) find multiple applications ranging from fabric dyes to optoelectronic materials. Hydrogenation of PAHs is often employed for their purification or derivatization. However, separation of PAHs from their hydrogenated analogues is challenging because of their similar physical properties.

Although catenanes comprising two ring-shaped components can be made in large quantities by templation, the preparation of three-dimensional (3D) catenanes with cage-shaped components is still in its infancy. Here, we report the design and syntheses of two 3D catenanes by a sequence of SN2 reactions in one pot. The resulting triply mechanically interlocked molecules were fully characterized in both the solution and solid states.
