Metal directed self-assembly of nanoscale polymetallic architectures

Objective

Metal templated self-assembly of macrocyclic and cage-like receptor of nanoscale dimensions is an area of intense research activity. The design and synthesis of cavities such as differently fictionalized resorcarenes and calix[4]arenes, combined with self-assembly of these macrocyclic receptors using coordination chemistry methodology will yield new host structures in which a variety of guests will be tested in organic and aqueous media. Changing the shape of the cavity and but maintaining the same assembling methodology we will face the synthesis or molecular ladders and helicates. All these systems including a proper optical or electrochemical sensor as part of the structure will offer a good way of sensing guest species.
