title: One-dimensional palladium wires: influence of molecular changes on supramolecular structure.
abstract: Nanostructured materials based on one-dimensional (1D) metal wires are of potential utility; however, to date, there is a lack of synthetic methods that allow for variation of structure and therefore properties. Here we report the use of molecular control elements to alter the solid-state structures of 1D palladium wires, including Pd-Pd bond distances and the porosity of the supramolecular framework.
