A rational molecular design of triazine-containing alkynylplatinum(ii) terpyridine complexes and the formation of helical ribbons via Pt⋯Pt, π–π stacking and hydrophobic–hydrophobic interactions

Abstract

The self-assembly of triazine-containing alkynylplatinum(ii) terpyridine complexes has revealed the formation of sophisticated helical ribbons. Fine control of the morphological transition from plates to helical structures has been demonstrated through an interplay of the bent molecular structure and PtPt, π-π stacking and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions.

Supramolecular assembly of bent dinuclear amphiphilic alkynylplatinum(ii) terpyridine complexes: diverse nanostructures through subtle tuning of the mode of molecular stacking

“…The more negative DG value for 6 compared to 5 can be attributed to the additional hydrophobic interactions by the longer alkoxy chains. [65][66][67] This observation, which highlights the importance of long alkoxy substituents in the self-assembly of transition-metal complexes, agrees with other works in the literature. [65][66][67] The more negative DG value for 7 compared to 5 and 6 might hint that the interactions between the hydrophilic substituents with water can constitute another dominating factor relative to hydrophobic interactions in promoting self-assembly in DMSO-H 2 O mixtures.…”

Towards supramolecular nanostructured materials: control of the self-assembly of ionic bent-core amphiphiles

“…In these cases, the morphologies depend on the conformational characteristics at the monomeric level as well as the dynamics of the assembly process itself. Alternatively, other compounds that differ significantly from biological derivatives have also recently shown the ability to assemble into fibrillar and tubular systems, thus highlighting the molecular requirements for this type of behavior, [5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] where novel bent-core based molecules warrant particular attention. From the supramolecular point of view, bent-shaped molecules have provided the newest class of thermotropic mesogens, which are known as 'bent-core liquid crystals' (BCLCs).…”

Helical Inversion of Peptide‐based Supramolecular Co2+ Complexes

“…Various specific noncovalent intermolecular interactions have been exploited to construct such supramolecular assemblies . Among them, the self‐assembly of metal complexes constitutes the main strategy for constructing supramolecular materials with defined coordination geometries . As shown in Table , the helicity inversion was related to the coordination geomertic change.…”
