Self-Assembly of the Hexabromorhenate(IV) Anion with Protonated Benzotriazoles: X-ray Structure and Magnetic Properties
2014
Two novel ReIV compounds of formulas [HBTA]2[ReIVBr6] (1) and [HMEBTA]2[ReIVBr6] (2) [BTA = 1H-benzotriazole and MEBTA = 1-(methoxymethyl)-1H-benzotriazole] have been synthesized and magneto-structurally characterized. 1 and 2 crystallize in the triclinic system with space group P1̅. In both compounds, the rhenium ion is six-coordinate, bonded to six bromo ligands in a regular octahedral geometry. Short ReIV–Br···Br–ReIV contacts, π–π stacking, and H-bonding interactions occur in the crystal lattice of both 1 and 2, generating novel supramolecular structures based on the ReIV. The different dispositions of the cations and the intermolecular Br···Br contacts in 1 and 2 play an important stru…
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new [ZnII6DyIII6] dodecanuclear motif
2013
Abstract A new dodecanuclear complex, [{(HL)(L)(dmf)ZnIIDyIII(dmf)(H2O)}6]·3dmf·4.2H2O has been assembled using a supramolecular compartmental ligand (H3L results from the condensation reaction of 3-formylsalicylic acid and hydroxylamine). The six DyIII ions describe an octahedron that is inscribed into the octahedron generated by the zinc(II) ions each DyIII ion from this motif behaving as a single ion magnet.
Dynamic formation of hybrid peptidic capsules by chiral self-sorting and self-assembly.
2014
Owing to their versatility and biocompatibility, peptide-based self-assembled structures constitute valuable targets for complex functional designs. It is now shown that artificial capsules based on β-barrel binding motifs can be obtained by means of dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) and self-assembly. Short peptides (up to tetrapeptides) are reversibly attached to resorcinarene scaffolds. Peptidic capsules are thus selectively formed in either a heterochiral or a homochiral way by simultaneous and spontaneous processes, involving chiral sorting, tautomerization, diastereoselective induction of inherent chirality, and chiral self-assembly. Self-assembly is shown to direct the regioselectivit…
A supramolecular heteropolyoxopalladate {Pd15} cluster host encapsulating a {Pd2} dinuclear guest: [Pd(II)2⊂{H7Pd(II)15O10(PO4)10}](9-).
2011
A high-nuclearity polyoxopalladate compound, [Pd(II)(2)⊂{H(7)Pd(II)(15)O(10)(PO(4))(10)}](9-) {Pd(II)(17)}, comprising a {Pd(15)} host occupied by a {Pd(2)} guest and the parent pristine "empty" [H(7)Pd(II)(15)O(10)(P(V)O(4))(10)](13-) {Pd(15)} cluster have both been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, (31)P NMR, CSI-MS, and XPS. The encapsulated {Pd(2)} has a short Pd(II)-Pd(II) distance within the {Pd(15)} host. Solution studies indicate that the empty host and filled guest complex are in equilibrium with each other, and UV titrations revealed a binding constant of ca. 10(3) for the guest Pd(II) ions, with a binding stoichiometry of almost 2.
Supramolecular 2D/3D isomerism in a compound containing heterometallic Cu(II)2Co(II) nodes and dicyanamide bridges.
2014
Three new heterometallic copper(II)-cobalt(II) complexes [(CuL(2))2Co{dca}2]·H2O(1), [(CuL(1))2Co{dca}2]n (2a), and [(CuL(1))2Co{dca}2]n (2b) [dca(-) = dicyanamide = N(CN)2(-)] have been synthesized by reacting the "metallo-ligand" [CuL(1)] or [CuL(2)] with cobalt(II) perchlorate and sodium dicyanamide in methanol-water medium (where H2L(1) = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine and H2L(2) = N,N'-bis(α-methylsalicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine). The three complexes have been structurally and magnetically characterized. Complex 1 is a discrete trinuclear species in which two metallo-ligands coordinate to a cobalt(II) ion through the phenoxido oxygen atoms along with two terminally coordina…
Solution stoichiometry determines crystal stoichiometry in halogen-bonded supramolecular complexes
2007
The behavior of the methylisonicotinate (MINC) building block as halogen bonding-acceptor module has been investigated in the solid state. Both the N and the O atoms of MINC interact with the iodine atoms of 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (DITFB) giving rise to N⋯I and O⋯I interactions. Hierarchy between these interactions allows the control of the composition and thus the structure of the supramolecular complex, according to the composition of the reaction mixture. A structure based on an infinite chain and a trimeric supermolecule have been obtained starting from a 1 ∶ 1 MINC/DITFB stoichiometry or by using a large excess of MINC, respectively. While the former structure shows simultaneous …

Toward Engineering Chiral Rodlike Metal-Organic Frameworks with Rare Topologies.
2018
The establishment of novel design strategies to target chiral rodlike MOFs, elusively faced until now, is one of the most straightforward manners to widen the scope of MOFs. Here we describe our last advances on the application of the metalloligand design strategy toward the development of efficient routes to obtain chiral rodlike MOFs. To this end, we have used as precursor an enantiopure homochiral hexanuclear wheel (1), derived from the amino acid d-valine, which, after a supramolecular reorganization into a one-dimensional homochiral chain-with the same configuration as 1-led to the formation of a homochiral rodlike MOF (2) exhibiting rare etd topology.

Solvent induced single-crystal to single-crystal structural transformation and concomitant transmetalation in a 3D cationic Zn(II)-framework.
2015
A 3D cationic Zn(II) framework, based on Zn2(CO2)4 paddle-wheel secondary building units (SBUs) and Zn16(CO2)32 polyhedral supramolecular building blocks (SBBs), has been synthesized. At room temperature, the framework undergoes guest solvent triggered reversible structural transformation and concomitant Zn(II) to Cu(II) transmetalation in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion.
