Michael McGuirk and I wrote an tutorial review on supramolecular frameworks (hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds, chalcogen bonds etc) where we try to get everyone to agree on some common definitions for things. Might be a long shot! Hopefully useful for new students. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Defining, designing and determining the structure of supramolecular frameworks

Supramolecular frameworks, ordered porous networks assembled by noncovalent interactions, are a broad class of functional materials with emergent combinations of properties arising from the relatively...

We have a new paper out with Annie Colebatch: we metalate 6+ hydrazone cages to give M3-cage metallocages with coordinatively unsaturated metal ions. Et solubilising groups give expected 3-fold symmetric metallocages. OMe or OPr give funky low-symmetry cages tinyurl.com/4ehppaex.

Low Symmetry Cage Complexes Formed by Metalation of Symmetric Hexa‐Cationic Organic Cages

Threefold symmetric hexa-cationic hydrazone cages coordinate a range of transition metal ions upon deprotonation. When the cage contains ethyl solubilising groups the expected threefold symmetric cag...
