Molecular architecture via coordination: self-assembly of pseudohexagonal A2(3)X2(3)-macrocycles

Org Lett. 1999 Dec 16;1(12):1921-3. doi: 10.1021/ol9911425.

Abstract

[formula: see text] The interaction of two complementary ditopic building blocks, each incorporating 120 degrees angles between the active coordination sites, in methylene chloride at room temperature results in the spontaneous self-assembly of platinum-based assemblies of hexagonal shape.
