title: Molecular architecture via coordination: self-assembly of pseudohexagonal A2(3)X2(3)-macrocycles.
abstract: [formula: see text] The interaction of two complementary ditopic building blocks, each incorporating 120 degrees angles between the active coordination sites, in methylene chloride at room temperature results in the spontaneous self-assembly of platinum-based assemblies of hexagonal shape.
