Molecular Architectures
In the last few years we have developed a versatile procedure for the convenient synthesis of numerous tetranuclear chelate complexes on the basis of spontaneous self-assembly. The exact structure of the adamantanoid cage compounds was defined by X-ray analysis and their electrochemistry was studied by cyclic voltammetry. By using the complexes as metals and complexes as ligands synthetic strategy, we were able to synthesize 3D-, 2D-, and 1D-coordination polymers, respectively, which could be characterized unequivocally by X-ray structure analyses.
