Combining Metallasupramolecular Chemistry with Dynamic Covalent Chemistry: Synthesis of Large Molecular Cages

Abstract

Ru-built cube: By combining metallasupramolecular chemistry with dynamic covalent chemistry, complex nanostructures can be formed. Large cages are synthesized by reaction of trinuclear metallamacrocycles containing pendant aldehyde groups (see picture; Ru blue, aldehyde linkers green) with triamines (red).
