A soft coordination polymer derived from container molecule ligands

Abstract

Partial collapse of the ladder-shaped tunnels of a crystalline cryptophane derived coordination polymer is monitored by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Tuning the coordination chemistry of cyclotriveratrylene ligand pairs through alkyl chain aggregation

“…Tripodal derivatives such as those shown in Scheme 1 are chiral. The self-assembly of derivatised CTVs with metal cations is well established, and coordination polymers, [35][36][37] discrete metallocages, [38][39][40][41][42] and mechanically interlocked architectures [43][44][45] are known. However, the chemistry of mixed ligand systems is generally limited to the solution-phase, and we have recently demonstrated how the formation and manipulation of homo-and heteroleptic [Pd 6 L 8 ] 12+ octahedral cages can be controlled with high fidelity.…”

Lanthanide coordination polymers with pyridyl-N-oxide or carboxylate functionalised host ligands

“…The self-assembly of derivatised CTVs with metal cations is well established, and coordination polymers, [35][36][37] discrete metallo-cages, [38][39][40][41][42] and mechanically interlocked architectures [43][44][45] are known.

Self-assembled Cages and Capsules Using Cyclotriveratrylene-type Scaffolds

“…Holman and co-workers, however, have used a carboxylic acid-functionalized organic cryptophane to form a 1D Cu(II) coordination polymer. 58 …”
