Multicomponent Assembly of Boronic Acid Based Macrocycles and Cages

Abstract

Simple one-pot reactions: Boronate ester condensation reactions can be combined with imine condensations and metal–ligand interactions to build nanometer-sized macrocycles and cages in one step from small building blocks (see scheme).
