Abstract

Cubic metallacages were arranged into multidimensional (one-, two-, and three-dimensional) suprastructures via multistep assembly. Four new shape-controllable, hybrid metallacages with modified substituents and tunable electronic properties were prepared using dicarboxylate ligands with various substituents (sodium sulfonate, nitro, methoxyl, and amine), tetra-(4-pyridylphenyl) ethylene, and cis-(PEt₃)₂Pt(OTf)₂. The as-prepared metallacages were used as building blocks for further assembly. Diverse suprastructures with tunable emissions (λ_max from 451 to 519 nm) and various substituents (−SO₃Na, −NO₂, −OCH₃, and −NH₂) were prepared depending on the substituents and solvents used.
