Self-assembly and guest-induced disassembly of triply interlocked [2]catenanes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Feb 24. doi: 10.1039/d0cc08052g. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo fascinating triply interlocked [2]catenanes and one simple triangular prism metallacage were constructed by tuning the widths of the organometallic dinuclear building blocks. Notably, the interlocked architectures were disassembled in the presence of large aromatic molecules to form their corresponding monomeric host-guest complexes.PMID:33623947 | DOI:10.1039/d0cc08052g
