A fluorescent, chiral coordination polymer (CP) with a novel topology has been synthesised using dipyridyl ligand derived from 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL). Enantioselectivity ratios up to 2.61 were obtained in fluorescence sensing studies analytes.

Self-assembling systems in nature display remarkable complexity with assemblies of different sub-units to generate functional species. Synthetic analogues such are a challenge, often requiring the ability bias distributions that under thermodynamic assembly control. Using lantern-type MOCs (metal-organic cages) as prototypical self-assembling system, herein we explore role steric bulk plays controlling exchange rate ligands paddlewheel-based assemblies, and thus stability cages, competitive...

Traditional methods of assembling low-symmetry heterometallic cage architectures are limited to stepwise construction and combinations inert labile metal ions, affording complex, anisotropic structures by sacrificing synthetic ease. Herein, a [Cu2PdL4]2+ lantern-type has been assembled in single self-assembly step through the use heteroditopic ligand with two different metal-binding groups. The resultant complex is fusion common motifs – carboxylate-based metal–organic Cu4L4 cages...

A heterotrimetallic [Cu2PdL4]2+ lantern-type coordination cage has been assembled in a single self-assembly step. Heterotopic ligands, comprised of both carboxylate and pyridyl binding groups, facilitate the simultaneous Cu(II) Pd(II) ions, respectively. The resultant is fusion two common motifs, Cu4L4 Pd2L4. It envisioned that this simple design strategy will ease assembly structurally complex, low-symmetry cages general.

Biological substrates like enzymes exhibit remarkable selectivity upon binding to guest species, owing their structural complexity and diversity.Supramolecular assemblies must be designed similarly in order match this heightened host-guest selectivity.The predictably simple structures of lantern-type coordination cageswhich consist metal ions bridged by bent organic ligands into enclosed cage-like architectureshave previously been desirable, but it is same simplicity that limits the efficacy...
