Abstract
The first-row transition-metal ions Mn2+-Cu2+ could serve as effective templates to construct three types of double-[1 + 1], [2 + 2], and [1 + 1] Schiff-base dinuclear macrocyclic complexes in the presence of dialdehydes with different pendant arms and a common 1,8-diamine. The extremely flexible nature of macrocyclic ligands allows for the multiple template-directed syntheses, but the final products could be finely tuned by the subtle variations of Mn2+-Cu2+ ions in a 3d-electronic configuration, radius, and coordination number/geometry as well as the auxiliary (pendant-armed and anionic) template effect at the same time. Two borderlines are observed at the Co2+ ion for forming double-[1 + 1] and [2 + 2] metallacycles involving the H2pdd precursor and the [1 + 1] Cu2+ complex for double-[1 + 1] and [2 + 2] macrocycles containing the H2hpdd unit, respectively. The structural diversity is originated from the non-perfect match between [1 + 1]/[2 + 2] Schiff-base macrocycles and dinuclear metal centers; hence, a compromise between the metal coordination modes and alterations of the ligand conformation takes place.

Abstract
Metal-coordination-directed macrocyclic complexes, in which macrocyclic architectures are formed by metal-ligand coordination interactions, have emerged as attractive supramolecular scaffolds for the creation of materials for applications in biosensing and therapeutics. Despite recent progress, uncontrolled multicyclic cages and linear oligomers/polymers is the most likely outcome from metal-ligands assembly, representing a challenge to current synthetic methods. Herein we outlined the state-of-art synthetic approaches to the metal-coordination-directed macrocyclic complexes by using foldable ligands or through assembly of amphiphilic ligands. This mini-review offers a guideline for the efficient preparation of metal-coordination-directed macrocyclic complexes with predictable and controllable structures, which may find applications in many biology-related areas.

Abstract
A new flexible 2-ethylthiophene pendant-armed dialdehyde (H2tdd) was reacted with 1,3-propanediamine, [( S, S),( R, R),(±)]-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and 1,2-bis(2-aminoethoxy)ethane, giving birth to 36-membered [2 + 2] Schiff-base macrocyclic trinuclear ZnII complex 1, 18-membered [1 + 1] mononuclear ZnII macrocycles 2-4, chiral/racemic 34-membered [2 + 2] dinuclear ZnII complexes 5-9, and 46-membered [2 + 2] dinuclear ZnII macrocycles 10-12 via ZnII ion template-assisted Schiff-base condensation. It is worth mentioning that the secondary template effects for nitrate and halide counterions have been observed in the 1,3-propanediamine involved imine condensation. In all [2 + 2] ZnII macrocycles, dinuclear complexes 5-9 display a full-folded molecular conformation, while trinuclear complex 1 and dinuclear complexes 10-12 exhibit distinct half-folded structures in the presence or absence of intramolecular π-π stacking interactions between two phenolic rings of the dialdehyde component. Interestingly, a solvent-induced single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation was first achieved for two types of solvated mononuclear macrocycles 3a and 3b (H2O vs CH3CN) with folded and unfolded ligand conformations. In addition, the photoluminescent properties were studied for this family of Schiff-base macrocyclic ZnII complexes as well as the dialdehyde precursor H2tdd.

Abstract
This Frontier article reviews diverse structures of Schiff-base macrocyclic ZnII complexes derived from a family of flexible pendant-armed extended dialdehydes via a preorganized synthetic strategy and the corresponding structure-determining factors, including primary cationic template effects and secondary complementary template effects. In addition, further post-modification and supramolecular self-assembly of Schiff-base ZnII macrocycles and their possible applications in a variety of areas have been discussed.
