    报告摘要：

    Due to the highly directional and predictable feature of the metal coordination, metal-mediated self-assembly acts as a powerful tool to mimic nature's activities and to construct various 2D and 3D metallo-supramolecules. Up to date, metallo-supramolecules have matured in the context of a large variety of macrocycles and polyhedrons assembled by ditopic ligands. However, unpredicted assemblies often appear because organic ligands are much more flexible than expected and metal centers can allow considerable deviation in their coordination geometry. Instead of solely relying on the angle of ligand and geometry of coordination in the conventional design, we used multitopic ligands to increase the density of coordination sites (DOCS) of assemblies, and thus to assemble a series of giant 2D and 3D supramolecules with increasing structural complexity and stability. Furthermore, if the first level assembly is viewed as the spontaneous formation of metal-ligand bonds to generate discrete cores, hierarchical self-assembly driven by multiple intermolecular interactions was able to deliver complex materials with unique properties by taking advantage of their precisely controlled shapes and sizes. All together, through further understanding of the design and self-assembly of supramolecular structures, our research is poised to advance the design, research and development of new synthetic materials with molecular level precision and high physical performance.
