Structure Enforced Assemblies of Porphyrin Based Metallomacrocycles - Control of Supramolecular Organization by Weak-Interactions
Control of supramolecular organization by weak noncovalent interactions is demonstrated in a series of crystalline materials based on functionalized porphyrin building blocks. The monomeric units associate via metal-ligand binding, hydrogen-bonding and halogen-halogen interactions into pseudo-rigid polymeric arrangements with porous architecture, giving rise to the formation of a large variety of hetero-molecular inclusion-type materials.
