Complex-decorated surfactant-encapsulated clusters (CD-SECs) as novel multidynamic hybrid materials

Abstract

Generation of well-defined organic–inorganic hybrid materials with controllable size and morphology is challenging and an active area of modern research in view of their unique properties and thus multifunctional applications.

Charge Neutral [Cu2L2] and [Pd2L2] Metallocycles: Self-Assembly, Aggregation, and Catalysis

“…The self-assembly of complex metallosupramolecular architectures from simple metal and organic components − has yielded a range of interesting and intricate structures with a wide range of applications. − These structures can be polymeric or discrete and often display unusual topologies and properties that are not present in their constituent building blocks . They have been shown, for example, to display a wide range of guest-binding, catalysis, and storage/separation uses. ,− The design of the building blocks that are programmed to assemble into these architectures plays a crucial role in determining both the form and function of the resulting metallosupramolecular complexes.…”

Hydrogen Bonding Directed Self-Assembly of a Binuclear Ag(I) Metallacycle into a 1D Supramolecular Polymer

“…[ 7 , 8 ]. The combination of all of these factors leads to numerous metallosupramolecular complexes with various structural topologies and fascinating physicochemical properties [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Intrinsic Effect of Pyridine-N-Position on Structural Properties of Cu-Based Low-Dimensional Coordination Frameworks

“…Coordination-driven self-assembly processes harness the directionality and reversibility of metal–ligand interactions to allow formation of supramolecular architectures with strictly defined shape and topology [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The spontaneous but controlled generation of well-defined multimetallic architectures is seen in the formation of one-, two- and three-dimensional coordination polymers (CPs) with numerous applications in, e.g., magnetism, molecular separations, dye degradation and catalysis [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”
