A Self-Assembled Electro-Active M8L4 Cage Based on Tetrathiafulvalene Ligands
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two self-assembled redox-active cages are presented. They are obtained by coordination-driven self-assembly of a tetra-pyridile tetrathiafulvalene ligand with cis-M(dppf)(OTf)₂ (M = Pd or Pt; dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene; OTf = trifluoromethane-sulfonate) complexes. Both species are fully characterized and are constituted of 12 electro-active subunits that can be reversibly oxidized.

Tuning the size of a redox-active tetrathiafulvalene-based self-assembled ring
The synthesis of a new Pd coordination-driven self-assembled ring M6L3 constructed from a concave tetrapyridyl π-extended tetrathiafulvalene ligand (exTTF) is described. The same ligand is also able to self-assemble in a M4L2 mode as previously described. Herein, we demonstrate that the bulkiness of the ancillary groups in the Pd complex allows for modulating the size and the shape of the resul...
متن کاملSelective guest recognition by a self-assembled paramagnetic cage complex.
A cubic cage complex assembled from twelve bis-bidentate ligands and eight Co(II) ions provides a cavity that selectively recognises and binds coumarin in MeCN solution. The cage portals are large enough to allow guest exchange, but small enough to provide a kinetic trap; the cage paramagnetism facilitates detailed NMR analysis.

متن کاملMetal-driven hierarchical self-assembled zigzag nanoarchitectures with electrical conductivity.
Quasi-one-dimensional electroactive materials with zigzag shape are fabricated by supramolecular self-assembly of a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivative and metal ions under mild conditions. This is the first time that self-assembled organic conductors with zigzag shape are reported.
متن کاملA self-assembled Pd2L4 cage that selectively encapsulates nitrate.
A M2L4 cage with D4 symmetry was self-assembled from four anthracene-bridged benzimidazole ligands and two Pd(II) ions. The cage features a concise hydrophobic pocket wrapped up by the anthracene walls with eight hydrogen-bond donors pointing inward, which provide a specific binding site for nitrate, with a binding affinity at least two orders of magnitude higher than all the other anions scree...
