A conformationally flexible tetrapyridyl ligand was assembled separately with three cis-blocked 90° Pd acceptors (, , and ) containing different blocking diamines. Surprisingly, different conformations of the donor were arrested by the acceptors depending on the nature of the blocking amine, leading to the formation of isomeric Pd barrels (, , and ). and with larger windows have been used to encapsulate polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

Metal-organic framework nanosheets (MONs) have proved themselves to be useful additives for enhancing the performance of a variety of thin film solar cell devices. However, to date only isolated examples have been reported. In this work we take advantage of the modular structure of MONs in order to resolve the effect of their different structural and optoelectronic features on the performance of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices.

Controlling the packing of olefinic molecules in crystals is essential for triggering solid-state [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reactions and the synthesis of photocontrolled smart materials. Herein, we report the stepwise photodimerization-triggered photopolymerization of two triene coordination polymers (CPs), {[Zn(2-BBA)(tpeb)]·0.5CHCN} (, 2-HBBA = 2-bromobenzoic acid, tpeb = 1,3,5-tri-4-pyridyl-1,2-ethenylbenzene) and {[Zn(3-BBA)(tpeb)]·CHCN)} (, 3-HBBA = 3-bromobenzoic acid).

Designing supramolecular architectures with uncommon geometries has always been a key goal in the field of metal-ligand coordination-driven self-assembly. It acquires added significance if functional building units are employed in constructing such architectures for fruitful applications. In this report, we address both these aspects by developing a water-soluble PdL coordination cage with an unusual square orthobicupola geometry, which was used for selective aerobic oxidation of aryl sulfides.

Nitrofurans are important synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs with the basic structure of 5-nitrofuran. Due to their toxicity, it is essential to develop a sensitive sensor with strong anti-interference capabilities for their detection. In this work, two {PMoO}-based compounds, [H(HPTTP)]{Cu[MoO(OH)(PO)(HPO)(HPO)]}·HO ( = 13 for (), 7 for (); HPTTP = 4,4',4″,4‴-(1-pyrrole-2,3,4,5-tetrayl)tetrapyridine), exhibiting similar coordination but distinct stacking modes.

Through coordination-driven self-assembly, aesthetically captivating structures can be formed by tuning the length or flexibility of various components. The self-assembly of an elongated rigid terphenyl-based tetra-pyridyl ligand (L1) with a cis-Pd(II) acceptor produces an [M L1 ] triangular orthobicupola structure (1). When flexibility is introduced into the ligand by the incorporation of a -CH - group between the dipyridylamine and terphenyl rings in the ligand (L2), anunique [M L2 ] water-soluble 'intertwined cubic structure' (2) results.
