Spin-crossover (SCO) coordination cages are at the forefront of research for their potential in crafting next-generation molecular devices. However, due to scarcity SCO hosts and own limited cavities, interplay between host multiple guests binding has remained elusive. In this contribution, we present a family pseudo-octahedral (M6L4, M = ZnII, CoII, FeII, NiII) assembled from tritopic tridentate ligand L with metal ions. The utilization FeII ion leads successful creation Fe6L4-type cage. Host–guest studies these M6L4 reveal capacity encapsulate four adamantine-based guests. Notably, spin transition temperature T1/2 Fe6L4 is dependent on encapsulated. inclusion adamantine yields an unprecedented shift 54 K, record guest-mediated date. This drastic ascribed synergistic effect coupled optimal fit within host. Through straightforward thermodynamic cycle, affinities high-spin (HS) low-spin (LS) states separated apparent constant. result indicates that LS state stronger affinity than HS state. Exploring thermodynamics host–guest complexes allows us examine cavity. study reveals can be manipulated by encapsulation guests, cage ideal candidate determining guest fit.

Heteroleptic metal–organic capsules, which incorporate more than one type of ligand, can provide enclosed, anisotropic interior cavities for binding low-symmetry molecules biological and industrial importance. However, the selective self-assembly a single mixed-ligand architecture, as opposed to numerous other possible outcomes, remains challenge. Here, we develop design strategy subcomponent heteroleptic architectures with internal void spaces. Zn6Tet3Tri2 triangular prismatic Zn8Tet2Tet′4 tetragonal were prepared through careful matching side lengths tritopic (Tri) or tetratopic (Tet, Tet′) panels.

Regulation of lanthanide supramolecular nanoreactors via a bimetallic cluster cutting strategy to boost aza-Darzens reactions

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16(1)

Опубликована: Март 4, 2025

Supramolecular nanoreactor as artificial mimetic enzyme is attracting a growing interest due to fine-tuned cavity and host-guest molecular recognition. Here, we design three 3d-4f metallo-supramolecular nanocages with different sizes active sites (Zn2Er4L14, Zn4Er6L26, Zn2Er8L38) based on "bimetallic cluster cutting" strategy. Three exhibit differential catalysis for the three-component aza-Darzens reaction without another additive, only Zn2Er8L38 largest most lanthanides centers has excellent catalytic conversion monosubstituted disubstituted N-aryl aziridine products. The relationship investigations confirm that significantly outperforms Zn2Er4L14 smaller Zn4Er6L26 fewer Lewis acidic in multi-component mainly attributed synergy of inherent confinement effect multiple nanocage. strategy construction large windows may represent potential approach develop supramolecular high efficiency.

The development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts with multiselectivity (e.g., enantio- and chemoselectivity) has long been sought after but limited progress being made so far. To achieve chemoselectivity in a system, as inspired by enzymes, we illustrate herein an approach creating enzyme-mimic region (EMR) within the nanospace metal–organic framework (MOF) exemplified context incorporating chiral frustrated Lewis pair (CFLP) into MOF tailored pore environment. Due to high density EMR featuring active site CFLP auxiliary sites hydroxyl group/open metal vicinity CFLP, resultant EMR@MOF demonstrated excellent catalysis performance hydrogenation α,β-unsaturated imines afford β-unsaturated amines yields chemoselectivity. role regulating was proved observation catalyst–substrate interaction experimentally, which also rationalized computational results. This work not only contributes new platform for multiselective opens promising avenue develop challenging yet important transformations.

Supramolecular Assembly Frameworks (SAFs): Shaping the Future of Functional Materials

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 63(33)

Опубликована: Май 7, 2024

Supramolecular assembly frameworks (SAFs) represent a new category of porous materials, utilizing non-covalent interactions, setting them apart from metal-organic (MOFs) and covalent organic (COFs). This includes but is not restricted to hydrogen-bonded supramolecular frameworks. SAFs stand out for their outstanding porosity, crystallinity, stability, alongside unique dissolution-recrystallization dynamics that enable significant structural functional modifications. Crucially, strategies allow balanced manipulation symmetry, dimensions, facilitating the creation advanced crystalline materials unattainable through conventional or coordination bond synthesis. Despite considerable promise in overcoming several limitations inherent MOFs COFs, particularly terms solution-processability, have received relatively little attention recent literature. Minireview aims shed light on standout SAFs, exploring design principles, synthesis strategies, characterization methods. It emphasizes distinctive features broad spectrum potential applications across various domains, aiming catalyze further development practical application within scientific community.

Metal–organic cages (MOCs) are discrete supramolecular entities consisting of metal nodes and organic connectors or linkers; MOCs noted for their high porosity processability. Chemically, they can be post-synthetically modified (PSM) new functional groups introduced, presenting attractive qualities, it is expected that properties will differ from those the original compound. This why highly regarded in fields biology chemistry. The present review deals with current PSM strategies used MOCs, including covalent, coordination, noncovalent methods structural benefits. main emphasis this to show what extent under circumstances a MOC designed obtain tailored geometric architecture. Although sometimes unclear when examining systems, particularizing design systematic approaches development characterization families provides insights into structure–function relationships, which guide future developments.

Luminescent metal-radicals have recently received increasing attention due to their unique properties and promising applications in materials science. However, the luminescence of tends be quenched after formation metallo-complexes. It is challenging construct with highly luminescent properties. Herein, we report a metallo-supramolecular radical cage (LMRC) constructed by assembly tritopic terpyridinyl ligand RL tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) Zn2+. Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), traveling-wave ion mobility-mass (TWIM-MS), X-ray crystallography, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) confirm prism-like supramolecular cage. LMRC exhibits remarkable photoluminescence yield (PLQY) 65%, which 5 times that RL; meanwhile, also shows high photostability. Notably, significant magnetoluminescence can observed for high-concentration (15 wt % doped PMMA film); however, 0.1 film vanishes, revealing negligible spin-spin interactions between two centers LMRC.
