Supramolecular Chemistry: Host–Guest Molecular Complexes

[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...

Supramolecular Chemistry: from Molecular Architectures to Functional Assemblies

Supramolecular analytical chemistry.

A large fraction of the field of supramolecular chemistry has focused in previous decades upon the study and use of synthetic receptors as a means of mimicking natural receptors. Recently, the demand for synthetic receptors is rapidly increasing within the analytical sciences. These classes of receptors are finding uses in simple indicator chemistry, cellular imaging, and enantiomeric excess an...

Supramolecular coordination chemistry

Highlights include the formation of ultra-large macrocycles with over 200 non-hundred atoms within a given cycle. The realisation that single molecule magnetic behaviour is not limited to molecules with high spin states. The connection of S = 1/2 cluster rings using a fragment that can switch on magnetic exchange between the clusters is extremely interesting for the synthesis of QBITs and elect...
