Article Abstract
A facile synthetic method to form cage-annulated crown ether with anchored imidazolium units was developed. The present work verified the potential application of the metal-carbene template approach (MCTA) in the preparation of novel flexible polyimidazolium cages by photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition reactions and may provide a new method for the preparation of flexible pure organic cages with incorporation of a variety of functional sites.

Controlling the size and surface functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs) can lead to improved properties and applicability. Herein, we demonstrate the efficiency of the metal-carbene template approach (MCTA) to synthesize highly robust and soluble three-dimensional polyimidazolium cages (PICs) of different sizes, each bearing numerous imidazolium groups, and use these as templates to synthesize and stabilize catalytically active, cavity-hosted, dispersed poly-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-anchored gold NPs. Owing to the stabilization of the NHC ligands and the effective confinement of the cage cavities, the as-prepared poly-NHC-shell-encapsulated AuNPs displayed promising stability towards heat, pH, and chemical regents.

Polyimidazolium-based cages are considered promising materials based on their fascinating properties and potential applications. These three-dimensional functional structures are highly desirable for the recognition of particular guest molecules, however, their synthesis remains challenging. In this work, we have designed and synthesizes a pure [n]-imidazolium (n=16) cage, the hexadecakisimidazolium salt H -2(PF ) , from tetragonal octakisimidazolium salt H -1(PF ) .

Although the coordination chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with transition metals has been explored for half a century, only in the past ten years has the chemistry of metallosupramolecular assemblies based on poly-NHC ligands been studied more extensively. Remarkable discrete assemblies featuring poly-NHC ligands including two-dimensional metallacycles and three-dimensional metallaprisms/cages have since emerged. These assemblies are mostly obtained starting from various imidazolium or benzimidazolium salts.

Two new polyoxometalate (POM)-based three-dimensional metal organic carbene frameworks, [Ag(trz)(HO)][HPWO] (POMs@MCNCs-1) and [Ag(trz)(HO)][HSiWO] (POMs@MCNCs-2), were hydrothermally synthesized, in which Keggin-type polyoxoanions as templates induce the formation of two different kinds of metal-carbene nanocages (MCNCs) for the first time. Combination of the reversible multielectron redox behavior and electron storage functions of POMs with the good electrical conductivity of the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) renders the POMs@MCNCs-1/SWNT composite excellent electrochemical performance and good stability as anode materials of lithium-ion batteries, with up to 2000 mA h g for the first discharge capacity and ca. 859 mA h g for the second cycle at a current density of 100 mA g.
