Multicomponent metal-ligand self-assembly.
Self-assembly of pre-designed organic ligands with transition metal atoms is a powerful method for construction of novel supramolecular architectures. Particularly, various discrete 3-D hollow structures such as cages, cones, capsules and boxes have been obtained by multicomponent self-assembly of exo-multidentate ligands with cis-protected square planar metal complexes, [(L)M](NO(3))(2) (where L is ethylenediamine or 2,2'-bipyridine and M is Pd or Pt). Furthermore, these hollow structures act as molecular flasks to encapsulate guest molecules and regulate/promote specific reactions; for example, oligomerization of silanetriols and [2+2] intermolecular photodimerization of olefins.
