A bent fluorenone-based dipyridyl ligand LA reacts with PdII cations to a solvent-dependent
dynamic library of [Pd n L2 n] assemblies, constituted by a [Pd3LA6] ring and a [Pd4LA8] …

The use of metalloligands as building blocks for the assembly of metallo-organic cages has
received increasing attention over the past two decades or so. In part, the popularity of this …

Spherical three-dimensional (3D) cages composed of palladium (II) and pyridyl ligands are
a mainstay of supramolecular chemistry with demonstrated catalytic and optoelectronic …

This perspective highlights three theoretical and computational methods to capture the
coordination self-assembly processes at the molecular level: quantum chemical modeling …

The dynamics of metal organic polyhedra (MOP) play a crucial role for their application in
catalysis and host–guest chemistry and as functional materials. In this contribution, we study …

Chiral self‐sorting during the formation of cage‐like molecules continues to fascinate and
advance our understanding of the phenomenon in general. Herein, we report the chiral self …

Nature uses various chiral and unsymmetric building blocks to form substantial and complex
supramolecular assemblies. In contrast, the majority of organic ligands used in …

Octahedral coordination cages of the general formula [Pd6L12](BF4) 12 were obtained by
combining [Pd (CH3CN) 4](BF4) 2 with heteroditopic N-donor ligands. Four different ligands …

Unsymmetric bidentate ligands offer multiple binding modes with respect to the orientations
of the coordinating sites, the unsymmetric nature of ligand 3, 5-bis (3-pyridyl)-1, 2, 4 …
