Owing to different...

Macrocycle with Equatorial Coordination Sites Provides New Opportunity for Structure-Diverse Metallacages

“…Coordination-driven self-assembly is a simple and efficient method for constructing molecular cages [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. A series of discrete or consecutive self-assembled metallacages with precisely controllable shapes and sizes (tetrahedron, triangular prisms, and octahedron) have been synthesized by this method [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Fujita and colleagues reported the use of a molecular cage as a nanoreactor for highly stable arenes (including pyrene, triphenylene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, and perylene) that underwent an intermolecular [2 + 2] photoaddition reaction with N-cyclohexylmaleimide within the nanocavity of this cage.…”

Thermally-induced atropisomerism promotes metal-organic cage construction

“…Macrocycles have recently become a popular building element for creating metal–organic cages. The main examples included calixarenes 24 , 36 – 42 , pillar[n]arene 43 , and porphyrin 41 , 44 – 46 , etc. These coordination cages are prospects for advanced functional materials due to their large interior volume, regulated cavity environment, and high porosity.…”

Supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) with aggregation-induced emission forin vitrophotodynamic therapy

“…[22][23][24][25] Due to the interaction between the building components, SCCs exhibit superior performance over independent building components and using SCCs becomes an effective strategy for constructing functional materials. [26][27][28] To date, SCCs have shown promising applications in molecular recognition, optical materials, [29][30][31] catalysis, [32][33][34][35][36] sensing, [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] polymers, [44][45][46] and especially in the biological sciences. [47][48][49] Compared with their mono-structurally equivalent small molecule precursors, SCCs have a unique variety of structures that can form two-dimensional metallacycles in the shape of a rhomboid, triangle, rectangle and hexagon.…”
