title: Coordination-driven assembly of molecular rectangles via an organometallic "clip".
abstract: The combination of linear dipyridyl ligands with a new type of modular building unit, based upon a 1,8-platinum-functionalized anthracene, leads to the self-organization of rectangular frameworks. X-ray crystallography confirms the cyclic structure of the supramolecular cationic complexes. Spectral assignments were provided by 2D NOESY (1)H NMR experiments.
