A synergistic strategy combining the driving forces of both catechol–metal ion coordination and polymer self-assembly can organize polymers into hybrid nanoassemblies with tunable morphologies and protein-triggered disassembly features.

New crystalline coordination-polymers are obtained under conditions in which distinct metal ion coordination, hydrogen-bonding and p-p stacking subprograms are involved in independent binding events of ureidopyridyl ligands 1 and 2 by silver hexafluorophosphate or silver triflate. The geometrical information contained in the structure of the ligands 1 and 2 is fully exploited by the silver ion coordination and urea-self assembly or H-bond anion coordination templating features in an independent way. The resulted linear or angular sequences may serve to use the information stored in molecular components that could be read out by synergistic and sequential non-covalent subprograms. It results in linear or tubular supramolecular coordination polymers constructed in a bottom-up strategy.

Herein, we describe the synthesis and characterization of two newly self-assembled supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) by using the cis-{Pt(PEt3)2}2+ center and two different kinds of pyridyl-derivatized ligands.

Polynuclear coordination complexes result from the interplay between the arrangement of the binding sites of a ligand, and their donor content, and the coordination preferences of the metal ion involved. Rational control of the ligand properties, such as denticity, geometry, and size, can lead to large, and sometimes predictable, polynuclear assemblies. This Alcan Award Lecture highlights our "adventures" with polynucleating ligands over the last 25 years, with examples ranging from simple dinucleating to more exotic high-denticity ligands. Complexes with nuclearities ranging from 2 to 36 have been produced, many of which have novel magnetic, electrochemical, and spectroscopic properties. Self-assembly strategies using relatively simple "polytopic" ligands have been very successful in producing high-nuclearity clusters in high yield. For example, linear "tritopic" ligands produce M9 (M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II)) [3 × 3], flat grid-like molecules, which have quantum dot-like arrays of nine closely spaced metal centers in electronic communication. Some of these grids are discussed in terms of their novel magnetic and electrochemical properties, and also as multistable nanometer-scale platforms for potential molecular device behaviour. Bigger ligands with extended arrays of coordination pockets, and the capacity to self-assemble into much larger grids, are highlighted to illustrate our current and longer term goals of generating polymetallic molecular two-dimensional layers on surfaces.Key words: Alcan Award Lecture, transition metal, polynuclear, structure, magnetism, electrochemistry, surface studies, molecular device.

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.

The geometries and energetics of molecular self-assembly structures that contain a sequential network of cyclic halogen-bonding interactions are investigated theoretically. The strength of the halogen-bonding interactions is assessed by examining binding energies, electron charge transfer (NBO analysis) and electron density at halogen-bond critical points (AIM theory). Specifically, structural motifs having intramolecular N—X...N (X= Cl, Br, or I) interactions and the ability to drive molecular self-assemblyviathe same type of interactions are used to construct larger self-assemblies of up to three unit motifs. N—X...N halogen-bond cooperativity as a function of the self-assembly size, and the nature of the halogen atom is also examined. The cyclic network of the halogen-bonding interactions provides a suitable cavity rich in electron density (from the halogen atom lone pairs not involved in the halogen bonds) that can potentially bind an electron-deficient species such as a metal ion. This possibility is explored by examining the ability of the N—X...N network to bind Na+. Likewise, molecular self-assembly structures driven by the weaker C—X...N halogen-bonding interactions are investigated and the results compared with those of their N—X...N counterparts.
