Balancing Ligand Flexibility Versus Rigidity for the Step-Wise Self-Assembly of M12L24 Via M6L12 Metal-Organic Cages.

Non-covalent interactions are important for directing protein folding across multiple intermediates and can even provide access to multiple stable structures with different properties and functions. Herein, we describe an approach for mimicking this behavior in the self-assembly of metal-organic cages. Two ligands whose bend angles are controlled by non-covalent interactions and one ligand lacking the above-mentioned interactions were synthesized and used for self-assembly with Pd 2+ . As these weak interactions are easily broken, the bend angles have a controlled flexibility giving access to M 2 ( L1 ) 4 , M 6 ( L2 ) 12 , and M 12 ( L2 ) 24 cages. By controlling the self-assembly conditions this process can be directed in a stepwise fashion. Additionally, the multiple endohedral hydrogen bonding sites on the ligand were found to play a role in the binding and discrimination of neutral guests.
