A heterometallic macrocycle as a redox-controlled molecular hinge

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Clément Schouwey, Marcus Papmeyer

The ability to modify the structure of nanoscopic assemblies in a controlled fashion is an important prerequisite for the creation of functional supramolecular systems. Here, we describe a heterometallic Pt2Cu2-macrocycle which behaves as a molecular hinge ...

Self-Assembly of a Giant Molecular Solomon Link from 30 Subcomponents

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Yury Tsybin, Konstantin Nagornov, Konstantin Zhurov, Clément Schouwey

The synthesis of topologically complex structures, such as links and knots, is one of the current challenges in supramolecular chemistry. The so-called Solomon link consists of two doubly interlocked rings. Despite being a rather simple link from a topolog ...

Anionic Bipyridyl Ligands for Applications in Metallasupramolecular Chemistry

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Mathieu Jérémie Marmier, Clément Schouwey, Mirela Pascu

The facile synthesis of anionic bipyridyl ligands with dinuclear clathrochelate cores is described. These metalloligands can be obtained in high yields by the reactions of M(ClO4)(2)(H2O)(6) (M: Zn, Mn, or Co) with 4-pyridylboronic acid and 2,6-diformyl-4- ...

An Imine-Based Molecular Cage with Distinct Binding Sites for Small and Large Alkali Metal Cations

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Clément Schouwey

The synthesis of a cylindrical, imine-based cage composed of two trimeric metallamacrocycles is described. The cage acts as a heterotopic receptor for alkali metal cations. The small cations Li+, Na+, and K+ bind to the outside of the cage with good select ...
