Formation of a highly-ordered rigid multichromophoric 3D supramolecular network by combining ionic and coordination-driven self-assembly

Abstract

We present here the self-assembly of a green-emitting metallosupramolecular rhomboid into a rigid, highly-ordered 3D multichromophoric network through the mediation of a tetra-anionic violet-blue molecular emitter. Control was obtained on the spatial topology, the electronic energy landscape and the fluorescence polarization of the interacting dipoles.
