Abstract
Simple organic subcomponents can come together around metal-ion templates to produce intricate hollow capsules, which can bind guest molecules selectively. This talk will describe the design and uses of some of these three-dimensional architectures, a few of which are shown in Figure 1 below, along with the use of the same construction principles to produce interlocked structures – catenanes and knots – and double-helical metallopolymers with potentially useful optoelectronic properties.
