Abstract:
Supramolecular chemistry allows incorporating function into molecules and materials, including rings,1 rotaxanes,2 gels,3 and frameworks.4 Metal-organic systems, namely those comprising platinum centers, offer outstanding photophysical properties and give access to metallophilic interactions;5 key features to achieve function. In this presentation, I will discuss our efforts to construct platinum-bridged rings (through supramolecular strategies), which can glow, reshape, and selectively host ionic guests within their cavity
