Abstract
Multivalency is a fundamental principle in nature that leads to high-affinity intermolecular recognition through multiple cooperative interactions that overcome the weak binding of individual constituents. For example, multivalency plays a critical role in lectin-carbohydrate interactions that participate in many essential biological processes. Designing high-affinity multivalent glycoconjugates that engage lectins results in systems with the potential to disrupt these biological processes, offering promising applications in therapeutic design and bioengineering. Here, a versatile and tunable synthetic platform for the synthesis of metallosupramolecular glycoassemblies is presented that leverages subcomponent self-assembly, which employs metal ion templates to generate complex supramolecular architectures from simple precursors in one pot. Through ligand design, this approach provides precise control over molecular parameters such as size, shape, flexibility, valency, and charge, which afforded a diverse family of well-defined hybrid glyconanoassemblies. Evaluation of these complexes as multivalent binders to Concanavalin A (Con A) by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) demonstrates the optimal saccharide tether length and the effect of electrostatics on protein affinity, revealing insights into the impact of synthetic design on molecular recognition. The presented studies offer an enhanced understanding of structure-function relationships governing lectin-saccharide interactions at the molecular level and guide a systematic approach towards optimizing glyconanoassembly binding parameters.

Abstract
The multivalent presentation of glycans leads to enhanced binding avidity to lectins due to the cluster glycoside effect. Most materials used as scaffolds for multivalent glycan arrays, such as polymers or nanoparticles, have intrinsic dispersity: meaning that in any sample, a range of valencies are presented and it is not possible to determine which fraction(s) are responsible for binding. The intrinsic dispersity of many multivalent glycan scaffolds also limits their reproducibility and predictability. Here we make use of the structurally programmable nature of self-assembled metal coordination cages, with polyhedral metal-ion cores supporting ligand arrays of predictable sizes, to assemble a 16-membered library of perfectly monodisperse glycoclusters displaying valencies from 2 to 24 through a careful choice of ligand/metal combinations. Mono- and trisaccharides are introduced into these clusters, showing that the synthetic route is tolerant of biologically relevant glycans, including sialic acids. The cluster series demonstrates increased binding to a range of lectins as the number of glycans increases. This strategy offers an alternative to current glycomaterials for control of the valency of three-dimensional (3-D) glycan arrays, and may find application across sensing, imaging, and basic biology.

Abstract
Multivalency plays a key role in achieving strong, yet reversible interactions in nature, and provides critical chemical organization in biological recognition processes. Chemists have taken an interest in designing multivalent synthetic assemblies to both better understand the underlying principles governing these interactions, and to build chemical tools that either enhance or prevent such recognition events from occurring in biology. Rationally tailoring synthetic strategies to achieve the high level of chemical control and tunability required to mimic these interactions, however, is challenging. Here, we introduce a systematic and modular synthetic approach to the design of well-defined molecular multivalent protein-binding constructs that allows for control over size, morphology, and valency. A series of supramolecular mono-, bi-, and tetrametallic Fe(ii) complexes featuring a precise display of peripheral saccharides was prepared through coordination-driven self-assembly from simple building blocks. The molecular assemblies are fully characterized, and we present the structural determination of one complex in the series. The mannose and maltose-appended assemblies display strong multivalent binding to model lectin, Concanavalin A (K d values in μM), where the strength of the binding is a direct consequence of the number of saccharide units decorating the molecular periphery. This versatile synthetic strategy provides chemical control while offering an easily accessible approach to examine important design principles governing structure-function relationships germane to biological recognition and binding properties.

Abstract
During the past decade, self-assembly of saccharide-containing amphiphilic molecules toward bioinspired functional glycomaterials has attracted continuous attention due to their various applications in fundamental and practical areas. However, it still remains a great challenge to prepare hierarchical glycoassemblies with controllable and diversiform structures because of the complexity of saccharide structures and carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions. Herein, through hierarchical self-assembly of modulated amphiphilic supramolecular metallocarbohydrates, we successfully prepared various well-defined glyco-nanostructures in aqueous solution, including vesicles, solid spheres, and opened vesicles depending on the molecular structures of metallocarbohydrates. More attractively, these glyco-nanostructures can further transform into other morphological structures in aqueous solutions such as worm-like micelles, tubules, and even tupanvirus-like vesicles (TVVs). It is worth mentioning that distinctive anisotropic structures including the opened vesicles (OVs) and TVVs were rarely reported in glycobased nano-objects. This intriguing diversity was mainly controlled by the subtle structural trade-off of the two major components of the amphiphiles, i.e., the saccharides and metallacycles. To further understand this precise structural control, molecular simulations provided deep physical insights on the morphology evolution and balancing of the contributions from saccharides and metallacycles. Moreover, the multivalency of glyco-nanostructures with different shapes and sizes was demonstrated by agglutination with a diversity of sugar-binding protein receptors such as the plant lectins Concanavalin A (ConA). This modular synthesis strategy provides access to systematic tuning of molecular structure and self-assembled architecture, which undoubtedly will broaden our horizons on the controllable fabrication of biomimetic glycomaterials such as biological membranes and supramolecular lectin inhibitors.

Abstract
A water-soluble metallosupramolecular hexagon containing pendant methyl viologen (MV) and trimethylammonium units at the vertices has been synthesized via an organoplatinum(II) ← pyridyl coordination-driven self-assembly reaction. The MV units of the metallacycle were further utilized in the formation of a heteroternary complex with cucurbit[8]uril and a galactose-functionalized naphthalene derivative, yielding a metallacycle-cored carbohydrate cluster that was subsequently ordered into nanospheres and tapes, depending upon the concentration.

Abstract
Hierarchical self-assembly centered on metallacyclic scaffolds greatly facilitates the construction of mechanically interlocked structures. The formation of two [3]catenanes and one [4]molecular necklace is presented by utilizing the orthogonality of coordination-driven self-assembly and crown ether-based cryptand/paraquat derivative complexation. The threaded [3]catenanes and [4]molecular necklace were fabricated by using ten and nine total molecular components, respectively, from four and three unique species in solution, respectively. In all cases single supramolecular ensembles were obtained, attesting to the high degree of structural complexity made possible via self-assembly approaches.
