Void and filled supramolecular nanoprisms-notable differences between seemingly identical construction principles.
Void and filled supramolecular nanoprisms (void: 4900 A(3)) were furnished in quantitative yield utilising the (terpyridine)-Zn(2+)-(phenanthroline) complex as a dynamic and heteroleptic building motif (HETTAP approach), but only if units serving as panels and pillars in the self-assembly were optimised with regard to their kinetic behaviour.
