Rigidity-modulated conformation control: a strategy for incorporating flexible building motifs into metallacycles.
A rigidity-modulated strategy for the conformational control of a flexible motif in the self-assembly of metallacycles is described; the span of the rigid ligand directs the conformation of the flexible motif by fixing the M ... M separation, thereby dictating the structure of the metallacycles.
