title: Self-assembly of nano-sized neutral metal-organic macrocycles from bis(β-diketone) ligands.
abstract: It's hip to be square: Self-assembly of bis(β-diketone) linkers with 90° or 120° angles and square-planer-coordinated divalent copper ions gives rise to the formation of nano-sized M(4)L(4)-type neutral metal-organic supramolecular macrocycles, which show promise towards encapsulating solvent or guest molecules.
