Anion templated assembly of supramolecular systems has been extensively explored in previous reports, whereas anions serve only as an auxiliary and spectator role. With the development of anion coordination chemistry in recent years, anion coordination-driven assembly (ACDA) has emerged as a new strategy for the construction of supramolecular self-assemblies. Anions are proved to exist as the main actors in the construction of supramolecular architectures, i. e., serve as the coordination center. This Review will focus on the recent progress in anion-coordination-driven assembly of discrete supramolecular architectures, such as helicates, polyhedrons and polygons, and the various applications of 'aniono'-systems. At the end of this Review, we highlight current challenges and opportunities for future research of anion-coordination-driven self-assembly.

Hierarchical self-assembly has been recently employed in the construction of anion-coordination-driven gel materials. However, the post-assembly modification strategy, which may be a highly efficient strategy to realize the functionalization of discrete 'aniono' supramolecular architectures, has not been employed yet. Herein we report the first example of anion-coordination-driven gel material cross-linked by well-defined 'aniono' triple helicate through post-assembly polymerization.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have successfully created the first octanuclear cubic structures using anion-coordination, utilizing phosphate anions and specific bis-bis(urea) ligands.
- The structure incorporates flexible terminal aryl rings that foster the development of "aromatic pockets," allowing for binding of up to 22 cation guests, which helps stabilize the cube through cation-π interactions.
- The resulting assemblies show varying chirality depending on the ligands used, leading to either mixed diastereomers or enantiopure cubes, suggesting that both the terminal groups and the cations can influence the cube's structure.

Anion-coordination-driven assembly (ACDA) has proven to be a very effective strategy for the construction of polyhedral structures. Here we demonstrate that variation of the "angle" of the backbone of C -symmetric tris-bis(urea) ligands, from triphenylamine to triphenylphosphine oxide, results in the change of the final construct from an A L tetrahedron to a higher-nuclearity, A L trigonal antiprism (A=anion, herein PO ; L=ligand). Most interestingly, this assembly features a huge hollow internal space that is divided into three compartments: one central cavity and two large outer pockets.

The assembly of discrete architectures has been an important subject in supramolecular chemistry because of their elegant structures and fascinating properties. During the last several decades, supramolecular chemists have developed manifold strategies for hierarchical assembly, which are normally classified by two main types of driving force: covalent and noncovalent interactions. Typical noncovalent interactions include metal coordination, hydrogen bonding, and other weak forces.
