Abstract

The coordination-driven self-assembly of an anthracene-functionalized ditopic pyridyl donor and a tetracene-based dinuclear Ru(II) acceptor resulted in an interlocked metalla[2]catenane, [M2L2]2, in methanol and a corresponding monorectangle, [M2L2], in nitromethane. Subsequently, guest template, solvent, and concentration effects allowed the self-assembly to be reversibly fine-tuned among monorectangle and catenane structures.
