Controlling Chiral Self-Sorting in Truxene-Based Self-Assembled Cages by Amina Benchohra, Simon Séjourné, Antoine Labrunie, Liam Miller, Enzo Charbonneau, Vincent Carré, Frédéric Aubriet, Magali Allain, Marc Sallé, Sébastien Goeb

“…Coordination driven self-assembly of achiral components, i.e., hexa-alkylated truxene ligands (L) with bis-metallic complexes (M₂), afforded three chiral face-rotating stereoisomer polyhedra (M₆L₂). By tuning the length of the alkyl chains as well as the distance between both ligands facing each other in the self-assemblies (M₆L₂), one can control the diastereomeric distribution between the expected homo- and hetero-chiral structures.…”

“…The difference in the kinetic schemes of a formation of the boron-capped iron(II) tris-nioximates and tris-octoximates is explained by necessity of the substantial changes in a geometry of the latter ligand synthon, caused by its coordination to the iron(II) ion, due to both the higher distortion of the <i>FeN₆</i>-coordination polyhedra, and the intramolecular sterical clashes in the molecules of the macrobicyclic iron(II) tris-octoximates.…”

Step-By-Step Modeling and Demetallation Experimental Study on the Porous Structure in Zeolites by Pavel Kononov, Irina Kononova, Vyacheslav Moshnikov, Evgeniya Maraeva, Olga Trubetskaya

“…A new step-by-step model is proposed that explains the principles of organizing the hierarchy of microporous space at the stage of assembling zeolites from elements of minimal size: a primary building unit, secondary building units, tertiary building units or building polyhedra, a sodalite cage, and a supercage. To illustrate the stepwise hierarchical porous structure of nanomaterials, the following zeolites with small and large micropores have been selected as the model objects: sodalite (SOD, the maximum diameter of a sphere that can enter the pores is 0.3 nm) and zeolites of type A (LTA, the maximum diameter of a sphere that can enter the pores is 0.41 nm), type X, Y (FAU, the maximum diameter of a sphere that can enter the pores is 0.75 nm), and type BETA (the maximum diameter of a sphere that can enter the pores is 0.67 nm). …”
