Summary:Molecular necklaces (MNs) are mechanically interlocked molecules that have attracted considerable attention due to their delicate structures and potential applications, such as in the syntheses of polymeric materials and DNA cleavage. However, complex and lengthy synthetic routes have limited development of further applications. Owing to their dynamic reversibility, strong bond energy and high orientation, coordination interactions were employed to synthesize MNs. In this review, progress in the coordination-based MNs has been summarized, with emphasis on design strategies and potential applications based on coordination interactions. Precision syntheses and potential applications of molecular necklaces based on coordination interactions.
Bibliography:Yefei Jiang is now working as a master degree candidate with Prof. Lin Xu in Shanghai Key Laboratory of Green Chemistry and Chemical Processes, School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, East China Normal University, China. She received her BS degree in Sichuan Normal University, China. Her research interests focus on the supramolecular fluorescent chemistry.
Prof. Lin Xu received his PhD degree in Chemistry from the East China University of Science and Technology in 2012 under the supervision of Professor Xuhong Qian. Subsequently, he joined the East China Normal University as an assistant professor and was promoted to an associate professor and a full professor in 2014 and 2018, respectively. He carried out two-years postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge with Prof. Jonathan Nitschke during 2015-2017. His research interests focus mainly on the supramolecular fluorescent chemistry and microfluidic chemistry.
