Abstract

Metal cations are used to control the selective crystallization of organic-inorganic supramolecular polymers. Two complementary monomers, a dodecanuclear vanadate [V₁₂O₃₂(NO₃)]^5- and the organic macrocycle cyclen assemble into hybrid host-guest aggregates. In the presence of Ba²⁺ or La³⁺, supramolecular polymerization and crystallization is driven by a complex interplay of cyclene protonation, hydrogen-bonding and electrostatics.
