Steric engineering of Pd <sup>II</sup> –ligand coordination pathways: hierarchical control from functionally addressable intermediates to supramolecular architectures
Steric engineering enables precise hierarchical control of Pd<sub>2</sub>L<sub>4</sub> assembly through well-defined ring (Pd<sub>2</sub>L<sub>2</sub>) and bowl (Pd<sub>2</sub>L<sub>3</sub>) intermediates. This finding allows active steering of metastable species into functional states, offering a programmable strategy for manipulating the assembly pathways.
