The self-assembly of two novel metallosupramolecular complexes of the general formulas [L2M2(CH3CN)4][BF4](4) (M = Co, 1a; M = Ni, 1b), where L stands for the tetradentate ligand 3,5-bis[4-(2,2'-dipyridylamino)phenylacetylenyl]toluene, is reported together with their molecular structures ascertained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Complexes 1a and 1b are isostructural and show the formation of dinuclear meso-helicates with the two octahedral metal centers displaying respectively A and A configurations. These meso-helicates display large nanocavities with metal-metal separation distance of >2 nm; furthermore, pi-pi-stacking occurs an-tong individual units to form one-dimensional (1D) polymers which further autoassemble in another direction through pi-pi contacts among neighboring chains to generate a two-dimensional (2D) network with regular nanocavities. Our approach might be of interest to prepare metal-organic nanotubes via a bottom-up strategy depending on the assembling functional ligand and the geometry of molecular building block.
