title: Observation of reaction intermediates and kinetic mistakes in a remarkably slow self-assembly reaction.
abstract: Several intermediates and oligomeric mistakes in a metal-ligand self-assembly reaction are identified by 1H NMR, MALDI-MS, and XRD, providing evidence in support of multiple pathways in the "free-for-all" self-assembly process.
