Helicates are a defining element of DNAs and proteins, with functions that critical to variety biological processes. Cyclodextrins promising candidates for forging multiple-stranded helicates well-defined helicity, but lack available tools has precluded the construction artificial helical nanochannels controllable geometry helicity from these widely chiral building blocks. Herein, we disclose family Ag6L2 can be readily assembled α-cyclodextrin-derived ligands through coordination between...
Abstract The precise control over hierarchical self‐assembly of superstructures relying on the elaboration multiple noncovalent interactions between basic building blocks is both elusive and highly desirable. We herein report a terpyridine‐based metallo‐cage T with tetrahedral motif utilized it as an efficient block for controlled in response to different halide ions. Initially, superstructure adopted hexagonal close‐packed structure. By adding Cl − /Br or I , drastically highly‐tight...
Stimuli-responsive materials, such as thermochromics, have found mass usage and profitability in manufacturing process control. Imparting charge-transfer-based functional supramolecular materials with tunable thermochromism emerges an ideal strategy to construct optically responsive multifunctional assemblies. Herein, the authors report a new series of thermochromic assembled water. These assemblies are composed bis-bipyridinium-derived acceptor commercially available donors—namely,...
Developing a methodology to build target structures is one of the major themes synthetic chemistry. However, it has proven be immensely challenging achieve multilevel elaborate molecular architectures in predictable way. Herein, we describe self-assembly series pinwheel-shaped starlike supramolecules through three rationally preorganized metalloligands L1–L3. The key octa-uncomplexed terpyridine (tpy) metalloligand L3, synthesized with an 8-fold Suzuki coupling reaction metal-containing...
By a precise metallo-ligand design, the advanced coordination-driven self-assembly could succeed in preparation of giant molecular weight metallo-architectures. However, synthesis single discrete high-molecular-weight (>100 K Da) structure has not been demonstrated due to insurmountable synthetic challenge. Herein, we present two-dimensional wheel (W1) and gigantic three-dimensional dodecagonal prism-like architecture (P1), which were generated by multicomponent two similar metallo-organic...
High energy and high risk have always restricted the application of materials in military civilian fields. To achieve this goal, researchers studied structural characteristics structure–activity relationship biomass polyphenol material to obtain core–shell composite energetic through molecular design. The interface structure has a significant impact on safety performance thermal stability materials. unique advantages natural chemistry (tannic acid tea polyphenols) include design control This...
Precise control over the chirality of metallo‐cages by maniplating stereochemistry metal centers is important in many practical applications, but extremely challenging. In this study, two isostructural metallo‐cuboctahedra (1‐ZnII12L18 and 2‐CdII12L18) have been assembled using ligand L1 kinds ions (ZnII CdII) with similar coordination lability. The chiral‐induction same guests (D‐/L‐camphorsulfonate, D‐/L‐SCS) results a completely opposing stereochemical output 1 2: D‐SCS induced host‐guest...

Herein, we report the self-assembly of a D3-symmetric quasi-icosahedron 4 based on desymmetrized terpyridine ligand. The participant triflimide (NTf2-) interacts with rectangular aperture, templating generation 4. With addition other smaller anions (50-90 Å3) into 4, supramolecular conversion to highly symmetric (O) cuboctahedron 5 can be observed due optimizing binding capabilities between and apertures metallo-organic cages. This enables selective tight multiple anion bindings clear...
Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/graphene oxide (PVDF/GO) nanocomposites are synthesized and their structural, ferroelectric, pyroelectric properties investigated.
