Abstract

In self-assembly through metal–organic coordination chemistry, strong interaction between metal ions and polydentate ligands is the primary driving force. Contrary to processes involving weak intermolecular forces, the much stronger interactions between metal ions and polydentate organic ligands make the contribution of weak interactions less significant.[1, 2] Thus, the number of factors to be considered in the process is ...
