Archimedean solids: Transition metal mediated rational self-assembly of supramolecular-truncated tetrahedra

Abstract: A family of nanoscale-sized supramolecular cage compounds with a polyhedral framework is prepared by self-assembly from tritopic building blocks and rectangular corner units via noncovalent coordination interactions. These highly symmetrical cage compounds are described as face-directed, self-assembled truncated tetrahedra with T d symmetry.

“…Chiral MP 4 stereocenters of this type are therefore potentially useful functionalities for the stereoselective synthesis of di-and oligonuclear metal helicates and other interesting structural motifs by thermodynamic self-assembly. Consistent with these ideas, and molecular mechanics calculations, (S,S)- The preferential assembly in each case of the dinuclear metal helicate was driven by the incapacity of the central ethylene spacer group in the tetra(tertiary phosphine) to stabilize the central fivemembered chelate ring in the corresponding mononuclear metal complex.…”

“…The simplest approach to the self-assembly of a particular structural motif is by the astute and selective use of rigidity in the design of the ligand (3). This approach applies also to the construction of molecular polygons and polyhedra from rigid, angular metal chelate components, such as [Pt(PEt 3 ) 2 ] 2ϩ , which can form the corners and apices of large two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures (4).…”
