The title compound, (5,10,15,20-tetra-4-pyridylporphyrinato)zinc(II) 1,2-dichlorobenzene disolvate, [Zn(C40H24N8)]·2C6H4Cl2, contains a clathrate-type structure. It is composed of two-dimensional square-grid coordination networks of the self-assembled porphyrin moiety, which are stacked one on top of the other in a parallel manner. The interporphyrin cavities of the overlapping networks combine into channel voids accommodated by the dichlorobenzene solvent. Molecules of the porphyrin complex are located on crystallographic inversion centres. The observed two-dimensional assembly mode of the porphyrin units represents a supramolecular isomer of the unique three-dimensional coordination frameworks of the same porphyrin building block observed earlier. The significance of this study lies in the discovery of an additional supramolecular isomer of the rarely observed structures of metalloporphyrins self-assembled directly into extended coordination polymers without the use of external ligand or metal ion auxiliaries.

In recent years, the design and construction of crystalline coordination complexes by the assembly of metal ions with multitopic ligands have attracted considerable attention because of the unique architectures and potential applications of these compounds. Two new coordination polymers, namely poly[[μ-trans-1-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethene-κ2 N:N′](μ3-5-methylisophthalato-κ4 O 1,O 1′:O 3:O 3′)cadmium(II)], [Cd(C9H6O4)(C12H11N3)] n or [Cd(5-Me-ip)(2-NH2-3,4-bpe)] n , (I), and poly[[μ-trans-1-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethene-κ2 N:N′](μ2-5-hydroxyisophthalato-κ4 O 1,O 1′:O 3:O 5)cadmium(II)], [Cd(C8H4O5)(C12H11N3)] n or [Cd(5-HO-ip)(2-NH2-3,4-bpe)] n , (II), have been prepared hydrothermally by the self-assembly of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O and trans-1-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethene (2-NH2-3,4-bpe) with two similar dicarboxylic acids, i.e. 5-methylisophthalic acid (5-Me-H2ip) and 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid (5-HO-H2ip). The coordination network of (I) is a two-dimensional sql net parallel to (101). Adjacent sql nets are further linked to form a three-dimensional supramolecular framework via hydrogen-bonding interactions. Compound (II) is a two-dimensional (3,5)-connected coordination network parallel to (010) with the point symbol (63)(55647). As the other reactants and reaction conditions are the same, the structural differences between (I) and (II) are undoubtedly determined by the different substituent groups in the 5-position of isophthalic acid. Both (I) and (II) exhibit good thermal stabilities and photoluminescence properties.

A combinatorial topological analysis is carried out by means of the program package TOPOS4.0 [Blatov (2006), IUCr Comput. Commun. Newsl. 7, 4–38] and the matrix self-assembly is modeled for crystal structures of the ZrZn22 family (space group Fd\bar 3m, Pearson code cF184), including the compounds with superstructural ordering. A number of strict rules are proposed to model the crystal structures of intermetallics as a network of cluster precursors. According to these rules the self-assembly of the ZrZn22-like structures was considered within the hierarchical scheme: primary polyhedral cluster → zero-dimensional nanocluster precursor → one-dimensional primary chain → two-dimensional microlayer → three-dimensional microframework (three-dimensional supraprecursor). The suprapolyhedral cluster precursor AB 2 X 37 of diameter ∼ 12 Å and volume ∼ 350 Å3 consists of three polyhedra (one AX 16 of the \bar 43m point symmetry and two regular icosahedra BX 12 of the \bar 3m point symmetry); the packing of the clusters determines the translations in the resulting crystal structure. A novel topological type of the two-dimensional crystal-forming 4,4-coordinated binodal net AB 2, with the Schläfli symbols 3636 and 3366 for nodes A and B, is discovered. It is shown that the ZrZn22 superstructures are formed by substituting some atoms in the cluster precursors. Computer analysis of the CRYSTMET and ICSD databases shows that the cluster AB 2 X 37 occurs in 111 intermetallics belonging to 28 structure types.

Two-dimensional (2D), supramolecular self-assembly at surfaces is now well-mastered with several existing examples. However, one remaining challenge to enable future applications in nanoscience is to provide potential functionalities to the physisorbed adlayer. This work reviews a recently developed strategy that addresses this key issue by taking advantage of a new concept, Janus tecton materials. This is a versatile, molecular platform based on the design of three-dimensional (3D) building blocks consisting of two faces linked by a cyclophane-type pillar. One face is designed to steer 2D self-assembly onto C(sp2)-carbon-based flat surfaces, the other allowing for the desired functionality above the substrate with a well-controlled lateral order. In this way, it is possible to simultaneously obtain a regular, non-covalent paving as well as supramolecular functionalization of graphene, thus opening interesting perspectives for nanoscience applications.

We present fluorescence and a random lasing enhancement effect due to the interaction between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) dye. Non-covalently bounded dyes in the proximity of nanoparticles are studied in three systems of varying dimensionality: from (i) three-dimensional freely distributed suspensions, through (ii) quasi-two-dimensional multilamellar liposomes, to (iii) solid two-dimensional thin layers. Liposomes facilitate the formation of stable AuNPs/Rh6G composition showing enhanced fluorescence, while solid thin films exhibit plasmon-assisted random lasing.
