The multicomponent reaction of diboronic acids with a catechol and a tripyridyl linker results in the formation trigonal prismatic cages. The cages feature six dative boron–nitrogen bonds as structure-directing elements. The size of the cages can be varied ...
This work describes the synthesis and characterization of boronic acid-based supramolecular structures. Different reversible interactions such as boronate ester formation, imine condensation and dative B–N bond formation are used to assemble macrocycles, c ...
