Self-assembly of a M4L6 complex with unexpected S4 symmetry.

چکیده
Using 1,4-diaminobenzene and 2-formylpyridine as simple building blocks results in a 1D ligand (rod, L2) to 2D (M4L4 grid, C1) to 3D (S4 symmetrical M4L6, C2) complexes upon sequential addition of Cu(I) and Fe(II) ions. The complex C2 can be seen as the smallest possible pseudo-tetrahedron with S4 symmetry.

Symmetry breaking in self-assembled M4L6 cage complexes.
Here we describe the phenomenon of symmetry breaking within a series of M4L6 container molecules. These containers were synthesized using planar rigid bis-bidentate ligands based on 2,6-substituted naphthalene, anthracene, or anthraquinone spacers and Fe(II) ions. The planarity of the ligand spacer favors a stereochemical configuration in which each cage contains two metal centers of opposite h...

An extended 36-membered dodecanuclear manganese metallamacrocycle with S12 symmetry has been synthesized using the ligand N-cyclohexanoylsalicylhydrazide (H3chxshz) by a self-assembly that accommodates a cyclooctane of conformationally strained S4 symmetry in its hydrophobic cavity.

Six equivalents of N,N'-bis(4-aminobenzyl)urea, 12 equivalents of 2-formylpyridine and four equivalents of FeSO(4) or NiSO(4) undergo subcomponent self-assembly in aqueous solution to form tetrahedral cages around a single, encapsulated sulfate anion.
متن کاملEngineering Nano-aggregates: β-Cyclodextrin Facilitates the Thiol-Gold Nanoparticle Self-Assembly
The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...
متن کاملQuantified structural speciation in self-sorted CoII6L4 cage systems
The molecular components of biological systems self-sort in different ways to function cooperatively and to avoid interfering with each other. Understanding the driving forces behind these different sorting modes enables progressively more complex self-assembling synthetic systems to be designed. Here we show that subtle ligand differences engender distinct M6L4 cage geometries – an S4-symmetri...
