Metalloligand Strategies for Assembling Heteronuclear Nanocages – Recent Developments*

摘要: The use of metalloligands as building blocks for the assembly metallo-organic cages has received increasing attention over past two decades or so. In part, popularity this approach reflects its stepwise nature that lends itself to predesigned construction metallocages and especially heteronuclear metallocages. focus present discussion is on discrete polyhedral cages, very often incorporating heterometal ions structural elements. metalloligand uses metal-bound multifunctional ligand display properties coordination a second metal ion such rational design both homo- metal–organic are facilitated. review covers published literature in area from early 2015 2019.
