Frontispiece: Multicomponent Self‐Assembly of Metallo‐Supramolecular Macrocycles and Cages through Dynamic Heteroleptic Terpyridine Complexation

Dynamic heteroleptic complexation of CdII ions with terpyridine ligands was used to construct 2D and 3D photoluminescent metallo‐supramolecules through multicomponent self‐assembly under mild conditions.

Summary:Dynamic heteroleptic complexation of CdII ions with terpyridine ligands was used to construct 2D and 3D photoluminescent metallo‐supramolecules through multicomponent self‐assembly under mild conditions. The complementary ligand pair greatly enhanced self‐recognition between oligotopic ligands so that the self‐sorting of a four‐component dynamic library into two polygons was realized. The highly site‐selective CdII–ZnII transmetalation within a structurally preserved framework was achieved by the lability difference between homoleptic and heteroleptic complexes.
