Abstract:Coordination-driven self-assembly serves as a powerful approach for the construction of metallo-supramolecules, however, it still remains its infancy in design of coordination moieties with high selectivity and specificity. Herein, two unique ortho-modified terpyridine ligands (MA and MB) were designed and synthesized to form head-to-tail coordination complexes with Zn(II) respectively. Both of them showed excellent narcissistic self-sorting process due to the exquisite design. Further, two multitopic ligands … Show more
