Abstract

Abstract : A series of clover-like supramolecular structures were designed and synthesized using a combination of Ru–Zn, Ru–Co, Ru–Mn or Ru–Ni metal ions. These structures with distinct redox properties may have further applications as functional materials. Abstract : Inspired by the clover plant in nature, clover leaf-shaped supramolecular structures with three hexagons fused to create a triangular core were designed and self-assembled using a combination of Ru–Zn, Ru–Co, Ru–Mn or Ru–Ni metal ions. These results lay the foundation for further applications of heterometallic multinuclear metallo-supramolecules.
