Abstract

A shape-persistent metallosupramolecular multirhomboid that inlays a hexarhomboid polygon in a three-lobed flat structure was prepared by means of coordination-driven self-assembly. The key ligands were synthesized by a "reaction on complex" strategy that becomes accessible to troublesome metalloorganic ligand L3. The formation here consists of four different starting components and two metal ions. Complementarity of the shape and size drives molecular puzzling and results in the multicomponent, quantitative self-assembled construct.
