Chiroptical photoswitches are of increasing interest for their potential in advanced information technologies. Herein, an achiral bis-β-diketonate ligand (o-L) with a photoresponsive diarylethene moiety as a linker was designed, which co-assembled with Eu ions and R- and S-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)-1,10-binaphthyl (R/S-BINAPO) as chiral ancillaries to form dinuclear triple-stranded helicates, [Eu(o-L)(R/S-BINAPO)]. The helicates in the enantiopure form were confirmed by H, F, P NMR and DOSY NMR analyses. Furthermore, the mirror-image CD and CPL spectra also demonstrate the existence of stable ground- and excited-state chiralities in solution. When exposed to alternate ultraviolet and visible light, the helicates showed reversible color variations from colorless to purple, followed by the presence of light-triggered quadruple optical and chiroptical outputs, named CD, PL, CPL and g switches. With these light-modulated optical outputs, the possibility for the fabrication of IMPLICATION and INHIBIT logic gates was discussed.

Highly diastereoselective self-assembly reactions give both enantiomers (Λ and Δ) of anti-parallel triple-stranded bimetallic Co(ii) and Co(iii) cationic helices, without the need for resolution; the first such reaction for Co. The complexes are water soluble and stable, even in the case of Co(ii). Studies in a range of cancer and healthy cell lines indicate high activity and selectivity, and substantial differences between enantiomers.

Metal-organic cages (MOCs) are popular host architectures assembled from ligands and metal ions/nodes. Assembling structurally complex, low-symmetry MOCs with anisotropic cavities can be limited by the formation of statistical isomer libraries. We set out to investigate the use of primary coordination-sphere engineering (CSE) to bias isomer selectivity within homo- and heteroleptic Pd L cages.

The diastereoselective assembly of achiral constituents through a single spontaneous process into complex covalent architectures bearing multiple stereogenic elements still remains a challenge for synthetic chemists. Here, we show that such an extreme level of control can be achieved by implementing stereo-electronic information on synthetic organic building blocks and templates and that non-directional interactions (, electrostatic and steric interactions) can transfer this information to deliver, after self-assembly, high-molecular weight macrocyclic species carrying up to 16 stereogenic elements. Beyond the field of supramolecular chemistry, this proof of concept should stimulate the on-demand production of highly structured polyfunctional architectures.

The synthesis and evaluation of six C-symmetric bowl-shaped dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalysts are described. These elaborate high symmetry catalysts are readily generated by means of the self-assembly of four C-symmetric ligands around the dirhodium core. These catalysts are capable of highly site-selective, diastereoselective and enantioselective C-H functionalization reactions by means of donor/acceptor carbene-induced C-H insertions.

Chiral self-sorting during the formation of cage-like molecules continues to fascinate and advance our understanding of the phenomenon in general. Herein, we report the chiral self-sorting in the Pd L -type metal-organic cages. When a racemic mixture of axially chiral bis-pyridyl ligands undergo coordination-driven self-assembly with Pd(II) ions to form Pd L -type cages, the system has the option of chiral self-sorting to afford any of at least 70 pairs of (one homochiral and 69 heterochiral) enantiomers and 5 meso isomers or a statistical mixture of everything.
