“…20.64 Å for 6 (bpb)]. The trigonal‐prismatic structures of 2 – 6 are reminiscent of a remarkable family of bamboo‐like metal–organic nanotubes involving in situ synthesized macromolecular blocks (MBs) recently reported by Lu and co‐workers, in which the MBs are composed of six fac ‐(CO) 3 Re cores, one benzene‐1,2,3,4,5,6‐hexaolate plate (C 6 O 6 ), and six pyridine‐derived pillar ligands. Notably, the C 6 O 6 ligand uses six O,O donors to coordinate with six Re I ions in a μ 6 mode, whereas three N,S donors of C 3 N 3 S 3 in 2 – 6 coordinate with three Re I ions in a μ 3 mode.…”

Versatile building block [{Re(CO) } (C N S )] (1 a; C N S =cyanurate trianion) reacts with linear dipyridyl ligands [i.e., pyrazine (pz), 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe), bis(4-pyridyl)acetylene (bpa), and 1,4-bis(pyridyl-4-ylethynyl)benzene (bpb)] and a tripyridyl ligand [1,3,5-tris(4-pyridylethynyl)benzene (tpb)] to afford a series of molecular cages [{Re(CO) } (L) (C N S ) ] [L=pz (2), bpy (3), bpe (4), bpa (5), bpb (6)] and [{Re(CO) } (tpb) (C N S ) ] (7) under solvothermal conditions. Various structural dimensions and motifs can be systematically tuned and obtained by using different dipyridyl and tripyridyl ligands in the reactions. The molecular cages of hexanuclear complexes 2-6 containing dipyridyl ligands feature interesting trigonal-prismatic structures with different dimensions. Furthermore, nonanuclear complex 7 has a novel triangular-star structure, and three benzene rings of tpb ligands form a triple-decker arrangement with significant π⋅⋅⋅π interactions having distances of 3.490(1) and 3.528(1) Å. In addition, molecular cages 1-3 and 5-7 exhibit luminescence in the solid state, and their luminescent properties were also studied.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with low density, high porosity, and easy tunability of functionality and structural properties, represent potential candidates for use as semiconductor materials. The rapid development of the semiconductor industry and the continuous miniaturization of feature sizes of integrated circuits toward the nanometer (nm) scale require novel semiconductor materials instead of traditional materials like silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide etc. MOFs with advantageous properties of both the inorganic and the organic components promise to serve as the next generation of semiconductor materials for the microelectronics industry with the potential to be extremely stable, cheap, and mechanically flexible. Here, a perspective of recent research is provided, regarding the semiconducting properties of MOFs, bandgap studies, and their potential in microelectronic devices.

Self‐assembly is a fundamental principle, which generates structural organization on all scales from molecules to galaxies. In the field of chemistry and materials science, the self‐assembly process driven by noncovalent interactions offers considerable advantages over the stepwise bond formation in the construction of large supramolecular assemblies with different sizes and shapes. The structures of metal clusters are mainly constructed from the assembly of mononuclear metal center to dinuclear, trinuclear species, and so on. It is of interest that Chinese ancient people also used this concept to create and encrypt characters. Herein, we report on an intriguing relationship between structures of metal complexes and the shapes of ancient Chinese characters, in which the self‐assembly principle is clearly demonstrated.
