Self-assembly is a potent synthetic tool that allowed chemists to design numerous complex
structures, supramolecules of various shapes from relatively simple starting materials. Metal …

A variety of different three-dimensional metal–organic container molecules have recently
been prepared using subcomponent self-assembly, which relies upon metal template effects …

A rigid organic ligand, formed through the subcomponent self-assembly of p-toluidine and 6,
6′-diformyl-3, 3′-bipyridine, was employed in a systematic investigation into the …

A new cationic Fe4L6 cage molecule was synthesised from 4, 4′-diaminobiphenyl, 2-
formylpyridine and iron (II). The cage exists as a system of interconverting diastereomers in …

Differential guest-binding behavior was observed between two pyrene-edged Fe4L6 cages,
prepared from isomeric bis (4-aminophenyl) pyrene derivatives, 2-formylpyridine and iron …

Anisotropic expansion of a spherical M2L4 coordination capsule through the elongation of
the ligand led to a new M2L′ 4 capsule. The expanded capsule provides an elliptical cavity …

Schiff base ligands prepared by the condensation reaction of carbonyl compounds and
amines possess an excellent chelating ability. The chemistry of imine bond formation is …

Three ZnII4L4 coordination cages, assembled from trisiminopyridine ligands, exhibit
differences in their guest-binding selectivities and reactivity with tris (2-aminoethyl) amine …

Pseudo‐octahedral MII6L4 capsules result from the subcomponent self‐assembly of 2‐
formylphenanthroline, threefold‐symmetric triamines, and octahedral metal ions. Whereas …

We report the covalent post-assembly modification of kinetically metastable amine-bearing
FeII2L3 triple helicates via acylation and azidation. Covalent modification of the metastable …
