Post-Self-Assembly Covalent Chemistry of Discrete Multicomponent Metallosupramolecular Hexagonal Prisms

摘要

The multicomponent coordination-driven self-assembly of hexakis [4-(4-pyridyl)phenyl] benzene, cis-(PEt_3)_2Pt~Ⅱ (OTf)_2 and amine- or maleimide-functional-ized isophthalate forms discrete hexagonal prisms as single reaction products. The amino or maleimide groups decorating the isophthalate pillars of the prisms provide reactive sites for post-self-asssembly modifications. In this communication, we demonstrate that the hexagonal prisms can be functionalized without disrupting the prismatic cores, enabling the incorporation of new functionalities under mild conditions.
