Fine‐Tuning of the Sequential Self‐Assembly of Entangled Polyhedra by Exploiting the Side‐Chain Effect
The control of the sequential self-assembly processes of highly entangled (Ag<sub>3</sub>L<sub>2</sub>)<sub>n</sub> (n=2,4,6,8) and Ag<sub>21</sub>L<sub>12</sub> coordination polyhedra using side-chain effects was studied via the introduction of linear or branched side chains into the tripodal ligands. In addition to changes in the intermediate polyhedral species affording the multi- pathway process, disruption of the kinetic control of the sequential self-assembly was observed, thus demonstrating the utility of steric control for the construction of 3D-entangled molecular materials on the 5 nm scale with high molecular complexity.
