Quantitative Dynamic Interconversion between Ag~1-Mediated Capsule and Cage Complexes Accompanying Guest Encapsulation/Release

摘要

Multicomponent self-assembly leading to discrete molecular architectures through reversible hydrogen bonding or metal-coordination bonding has attracted a great deal of attention.So far,many excellent examples of well-defined 3D structures,such as capsules,cages,boxes,and tubes,have been reported,and their inner spaces have been efficiently used as recognition and reaction centers for neutral molecules and ionic species.
