20. Abstract The design and synthesis of two new heterofunctional hexagons containing both redox-active ferrocenyl and host-guest crown ether functionalities has been achieved via coordination-driven self-assembly. The size and relative distribution of functional groups on the supramolecular metallacycles can be precisely controlled. The host-guest recognition properties of the crown ether moieties and their ability to complex cationic guests to form tris[2]pseudorotaxane complexes have been investigated. The functional moieties are shown to operate orthogonally, resulting in discrete supramolecular hexagons that are capable of carrying out a variety of functions both simultaneously and independently.

21. Introduction • The design and creation of regularly shaped nanoscale objects, which can serve as the building blocks of supramolecular materials, • is an extremely important goal in material science. • They have recently introduced a variety of functionalized 120° • platinum acceptors and 120° organic donors and have quantitatively • assembled them to form molecular hexagons with six functional • groups on their periphery. • They envisioned that acceptor-donor-based coordination-driven • self-assembly is additionally useful because of the ability to modify • functional groups at both the donor and acceptor units. • Here they employ 120° acceptor units decorated with one functional group to self-assemble with 120° donor units decorated with another • functional group to form supramolecular hexagons with six • heterofunctional groups.

Self-Assembly of Heterofunctional Hexagons • With the 120° crown ether and ferrocene functionalized precursors in hand, in both donor and acceptor analogues, the self-assembly of heterofunctional hexagons was • investigated. • Upon mixing 120° ferrocenyl donor unit 1 with 120° crown ether functionalized unit 2 in CH2Cl2, heterofunctional hexagon • 5 was obtained . • Stirring 120° ferrocenyl acceptor • unit 3 with an equimolar amount of 120° crown ether donor unit 4 in • CH2Cl2 results in heterofunctional • hexagon 6.

42. Conclusion To summarize, they have demonstrated that by appropriate design of organic building blocks (dipyridyl pillars, robust tetratopic carboxylates), metalloporphyrins can be successfully incorporated into a MOF possessing the features needed for effective catalysis, i.e., large pores, permanent microporosity, and fully reactant-accessible active sites. Proof-of-concept catalysis of an acyl-transfer reaction revealed ∼2400- fold rate enhancement, dominated by contributions from LA activation and reactant preconcentration. They hope to report shortly on variants of ZnPO-MOF featuringother metals as active sites and functioning catalytically by other mechanisms.

44. Introduction • Supramolecular dendrimers are a recent and important subset of such self-assembled structures. • As a consequence, attention has recently turned to the self-assembly of dendrimers to provide well-defined nanoscale architectures via a variety of noncovalent interactions such as electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding and metal-ligand coordination. • In particular, cavity-cored dendrimers have recently received considerable attention because of their elaborate structures and potential applications in delivery and recognition.

45. Introduction • Previously, Percec et al. reported a library of amphiphilic dendritic dipeptides that self-assemble into helical pores both in solution and in bulk. • In addition, the possibility to fine-tune the size and shape of the cavities in metallodendrimers would help provide an enhanced understanding of the geometrical requirements necessary for molecular self-assembly. • Furthermore, this strategy would likely give rise to the design and synthesis of novel supramolecular species with desired functionality arising from their unique interior cavities and dendritic exteriors.

46. Introduction • Recently theyreported the self-assembly of the first metallodendrimers exhibiting a nonplanar hexagonal cavity with an internal core radius of approximately 1.6nm, by the combination of 120° dendritic donor subunits (substituted with Fréchet-type dendrons) and 120° di-Pt(Ⅱ) acceptor angular linkers in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. • Here they report the results obtained when they extended the investigations to the self-assembly of rhomboidal and “snowflake-shaped” metalloden- drimers possessing cavities of various size and shape at the core through the use of coordination-driven self-assembly (Figure 1).

47. Result and Discussion Synthesis of 120° Angular Dendritic Donor Subunits The synthesis of [G0]-[G3] 120° donor building blocks 5a-d commenced with acylation of the commercially available compound 3,5-dibromo-phenol (1) to give 2 (Scheme 1). The 3,5-bis-pyridylethynyl-phenyl ester 3 was prepared by palladium-mediated coupling reaction from Ester 2 with 4-ethynylpyridine in reasonable yield (66%). Upon ester hydrolysis and etherification, the [G0]- [G3] 120° precursors 5a-d (Figure 2), substituted with Fréchet-type dendrons, were obtained in good yields.

48. Result and Discussion Synthesis of [G0]-[G3]-Rhomboidal Metallodendrimers 7a-d. The combination of 60° units with 120° linking components will yield a molecular rhomboid. Stirring the [G0]-[G3] 120° angular donors 5a-d with an equimolar amount of the known 60° angular acceptor, 2,9-(trans Pt(PEt3)2NO3)2- phenanthrene (6), in CD2Cl2 for 14h resulted in [2+2] rhomboidal metallodendrimers 7a-d, respectively, in excellent yields (Scheme 2).

49. The 31P{1H} NMR spectra of the [G0]-[G3] assemblies 7a-d displayed a sharp singlet (ca. 14.6 ppm) shifted up field from the signal of the starting platinum acceptor 6 by approximately 6.4 ppm. This change, as well as the decrease in coupling of the flanking 195Pt satellites (ca. ¢J ) –177Hz), is consistent with back-donation from the platinum atoms. In the 1H NMR spectrum of each assembly, the R- hydrogen nuclei of the pyridine rings exhibited 0.75- 0.78 ppm downfield shifts, and the â-hydrogen nuclei showed about 0.2 ppm downfield shifts, due to the loss of electron density that occurs upon coordination of the pyridine N atom with the Pt(II) metal center. It is noteworthy that two doublets were observed for these R-hydrogen nuclei, as this might be attributed to hindered rotation about the Pt-N(pyridyl) bond, which has been previously reported.
