Since the first synthesis of cryptands and cavitands, molecular cages defined as hollow
structures enclosing a three-dimensional cavity have experienced a large development in …

A new M2L4 molecular capsule with an aromatic shell was prepared using two Pd (II) ions
and four bisanthracene ligands. The self-assembled capsule possesses a cavity with a …

Encapsulated transition metal catalysts are presented that are formed by templated self-
assembly processes of simple building blocks such as porphyrins and pyridylphosphine and …

Metallosupramolecular assemblies of dyes are of increasing interest as model systems for
natural light harvesting and photosynthetic complexes as well as for potential applications in …

A series of substituted tetraphenylporphyrin iron chloride complexes [RTPPFe (III) Cl, R= o/p-
NO2, o/p-Cl, H, o/p-CH3, o/p-OCH3] were synthesized by a novel universal mixed-solvent …

A self-assembly of AgClO4 with a Schiff-base ligand N, N '-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethylene)
benzene-1, 4-diamine (1) gave a 1D zigzag polymeric array [{Ag2 (C18H14N4) 2}(ClO4) 2 …

M2L4 molecular capsules self-assembled from M (II) ions (where M= Zn, Ni, and Pd) and
bent bidentate ligands constructed from anthracene fluorophores. The Ni (II) and Zn (II) …

The synthesis of a disulfonamide appended porphyrin receptor (1) for anionic guests is
presented. The distinct attribute of the receptor, compared to other porphyrin based …

The synthesis of a zinc (II) porphyrin 1 with four appended triazolyl–pyridine chelates is
reported. Complexation of the porphyrin peripheral ligands with AgI ions in a 1: 2 binding …

The U-shaped, multifunctionalized tetraetheno-bridged dicyclopenta [b, i] anthracenediol 10
was synthesized to serve as a platform molecule. The molecule was prepared from the …
