1,3,5‐Triazine‐Based Synthons in Supramolecular Chemistry

A triazine-based three-directional rigid-rod tecton forms a novel 1D channel structure

A large, symmetrically substituted triazine-based molecule, synthesized by a copper-free Sonogashira coupling procedure self-assembles to form a novel 1D channel structure that hosts chlorobenzene molecules as guests.

Synthesis of cyclic bis- and trismelamine derivatives and their complexation properties with barbiturates

Cyclic bis- and trismelamine derivatives were prepared from cyanuric chloride by stepwise substitutions with appropriate amines. The complexation abilities of these melamine derivatives with barbituric acid derivatives were evaluated by UV-vis spectroscopy and (1)H NMR. The structure was also confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Both the acyclic and the cyclic bismelamine derivatives formed a 1 : 1 complex via six hydrogen bonds with barbituric acid derivatives. van't Hoff analyses on the complexation of the bismelamines with the barbituric acid derivative revealed that the complexation of the cyclic bismelamine was entropically favored and enthalpically less favored process than those of the acyclic bismelamine. X-Ray crystallographic analysis and (1)H NMR studies revealed that the cyclic trismelamine bound one barbituric acid derivative into the cavity via six hydrogen bonds by two melamine moieties and another barbituric acid via three hydrogen bonds by the residual melamine moiety.

A coordination polymer strategy for anion encapsulation: anion–π interactions in (4,4) nets formed from Ag(i) salts and a flexible pyrimidine ligand

Anions encapsulated by a uniform mode of anion-pi binding in isomorphous (4,4) nets formed from Ag(I) salts and bis(4-pyrimidylmethyl)sulfide appear to be structurally directing.

A ketone oximate based cyclic cationic [NiII4] inverse metallacrown from simultaneous chelation and bridging of two ligands

The Ni(4) inverse metallacrown (NHEt(3)) [Ni(4)(bmo)4(Hael)2(ael)2](ClO(4))3 [(NHEt(3)).1.(ClO(4))3], with the inverse 12-MC-4 motif, has been assembled via simultaneous chelation and bridging of butan-2,3-dionemonoxime (Hbmo) and 2-amino ethanol (Hael).

s-Triazine and tri-s-triazine based organic–inorganic hybrid gels prepared from chlorosilanes by exchange reactions

Hybrid polymers [(DeltaO3)4Si3]n and [(DeltaO3)SiMe]n (where Delta = C6N7 or C3N3) have been prepared by a novel sol-gel process based on exchange reactions of MeSiCl3 or SiCl4 with C6N7(OSiMe3)3 and C3N3(OSiMe3)3.
