Abstract
Superb control over the helical chirality of discrete (M3L2)n polyhedra (n = 2,4,8, M = CuI or AgI) created from the self-assembly of propeller-shaped ligands (L) equipped with chiral side chains is demonstrated here. Almost perfect chiral induction (>99 : 1) of the helical orientation of the framework was achieved for the largest (M3L2)8 cube with 48 small chiral side chains (diameter: ∼5 nm), while no or moderate chiral induction was observed for smaller polyhedra (n = 2, 4). Thus, amplification of the weak chiral inductions of each ligand unit is an efficient way to control the chirality of large discrete nanostructures with high structural complexity. Superb control over the helical chirality of highly-entangled (M3L2)n polyhedra (M = Cu(i), Ag(i); n = 2,4,8) was achieved via multiplication of weak chiral inductions by side chains accumulated on the huge polyhedral surfaces.![]()

RESEARCH (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2022; 2022:9819343. [PMID: 35282470 PMCID: PMC8897743 DOI: 10.34133/2022/9819343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Designing and building unique cage assemblies attract increasing interest from supramolecular chemists but remain synthetically challenging. Herein, we propose the use of a flexible vertex with adjustable angles to selectively form highly distorted tetrahedral and octahedral cages, for the first time, in which the flexible vertex forms from the synergistic effect of coordination and covalent interactions. The inherent interligand angle of the vertex can be modulated by guest anions present, which allows for the fine-tuning of different cage geometries. Furthermore, the reversible structural transformation between tetrahedral and octahedral cages was achieved by anion exchange monitored by mass spectrometric technique, the smaller anions favoring tetrahedral cages, while the larger anions supporting octahedral cages. Additionally, the KBr-based cage thin films exhibited prominent enhancement of their third-order NLO responses in two or three orders of magnitude compared to those obtained for their corresponding solutions. This work not only provides a new methodology to build irregular polyhedral structures in a controlled and tunable way but also provides access to new kinds of promising functional optical materials.

Abstract
Two dipyridyl ligands were synthesized, where the pyridyl donor fragments were separated by an isophthalamide (1) or a dipicolinamide moiety (2). Both ligands formed [Pd2(Ligand)4][BF4]4 complexes in CD2Cl2 containing 5% dmso-d6. It was found that while [Pd2(1)4][BF4]4 readily binds to n-octyl glycosides and to nitrate anions, [Pd2(2)4][BF4]4 did not. The difference in binding properties could be rationalized based on the reduced flexibility and size of the [Pd2(2)4]2+ cage and/or stronger interior binding of a BF4- counter anion.
