Supramolecular Complexes and Supramolecular Catalysts Formed by Molecular Assembly of Multinuclear Metal Complexes in Aqueous Solutions

Aniline–phenol recognition: from solution through supramolecular synthons to cocrystals

Aniline-phenol recognition is studied in the crystal engineering context in several 1:1 cocrystals that contain a closed cyclic hydrogen-bonded [⋯O-H⋯N-H⋯]2 tetramer supramolecular synthon (II). Twelve cocrystals of 3,4,5- and 2,3,4-trichlorophenol with one of eight halogenated anilines have been characterized. Ten of these cocrystals contain an extended octamer synthon that is assembled with h...

Triptycene based organometallic complexes: a new class of acceptor synthons for supramolecular ensembles.

Preparation and characterization of two new triptycene based polytopic Pt(II) organometallic complexes are being reported. These complexes have three trans-bromobis(trialkylphosphine)platinum(II) units directly attached to the central triptycene unit. These organoplatinum complexes were converted to the corresponding nitrate salts for subsequent use in self-assembly reactions. Characterization ...

[Supramolecular chemistry of multinuclear zinc(II) complexes in aqueous solution].

We report novel supramolecular polyhedrons formed by three-dimensional self-assembly of multinuclear zinc(II)-12-membered tetraamine (= cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) complexes with potentially multidentate ligands such as cyanuric acid (CA) and trithiocyanuric acid (TCA) in aqueous solution. Two new supermolecular frameworks were isolated by self-assembly of a tris (Zn(2+)-cyclen) (Z...

Conformational adaptation in supramolecular assembly on surfaces.

Supramolecular chemistry provides an original approach to nanoscience and nanotechnology by its intrinsically molecularlevel control of self-assembly processes. The spontaneous but controlled generation of complex supramolecular entities from suitably designed molecular components opens the way to the efficient—because extremely parallel—bottom-up construction of supramolecular architectures, w...
