Coordination-driven face-directed self-assembly of trigonal prisms. Face-based conformational chirality.
TLDR
NMR data prove that the two edges of the pyridine rings in the triflate salts of 3a-3d are distinct and molecular mechanics results suggest that in the smallest prism 3d collective effects dominate and the all-P and all-M conformers are strongly favored.

Ambidentate pyridyl-carboxylate ligands in the coordination-driven self-assembly of 2D Pt macrocycles: self-selection for a single isomer.
TLDR
The coordination-driven self-assembly of discrete 2D macrocyclic species from ambidentate pyridyl-carboxylate-based donor ligands and platinum-containing acceptors is presented and only one isomeric assembly is selectively formed in high yield.

Synthesis of a bis(pyridyl)-substituted perylene diimide ligand and incorporation into a supramolecular rhomboid and rectangle via coordination driven self-assembly.
The synthesis of a bis(pyridyl)-substituted perylene diimide ligand and its incorporation into a supramolecular rhomboid and rectangle via platinum-mediated self-assembly is reported. Both ensembles…

Self-recognition in the coordination driven self-assembly of 2-D polygons.
TLDR
Self-recognition in the transition-metal-mediated self-assembly of some 2-D polygons is presented and it is shown that these mixed ligand systems prefer to self-assemble into discrete species.

Ambidentate ligands capable of variable bond angles in the coordination-driven self-assembly of discrete Pt macrocycles.
TLDR
Flexible, ambidentate pyridyl-carboxylate based donor ligands self-assemble into discrete [2 + 2] macrocyclic species instead of infinite networks when combined with a 90 degrees platinum-containing acceptor.

Bidentate ligands capable of variable bond angles in the self-assembly of discrete supramolecules.
TLDR
These systems are unique examples of versatile pyridine donors adjusting their bonding directionality to accommodate rigid platinum acceptors in the formation of closed macrocycles.

2-pyrazinylnitrene and 4-pyrimidylnitrene. Ring expansion to 1,3,5-triazacyclohepta-1,2,4,6-tetraene and ring opening to (2-Isocyanovinyl)carbodiimide.
TLDR
These photolysis results as well as those of the previously reported thermal ring contraction of (15)N-labeled 2-pyrazinyl- and 4-pyrimidylnitrenes to 1-cyanoimidazoles can all be rationalized in terms of selective ring opening of 21 or nitrine 10 to a nitrile ylide zwitterion 28 prior to formation of the final products.

Incorporation of a flexible, pyridine-functionalized Diaza-crown ether into discrete supramolecules via coordination-driven self-assembly.
TLDR
A flexible, pyridine-functionalized diaza-crown ether was self-assembled into discrete supramolecules of differing stoichiometries upon combination with various organoplatinum molecules, demonstrating the puckered shape of the macrocyclic ring.

Interconversion of Nitrenes, Carbenes, and Nitrile Ylides by Ring Expansion, Ring Opening, Ring Contraction, and Ring Closure: 3-Quinolylnitrene, 2-Quinoxalylcarbene, and 3-Quinolylcarbene
Photolysis of 3-azidoquinoline 6 in an Ar matrix generates 3-quinolylnitrene 7, which is characterized by its electron spin resonance (ESR), UV, and IR spectra in Ar matrices. Nitrene 7 undergoes…

Nitrile ylides: allenic and propargylic structures from pyrazinylnitrenes. Experimental and theoretical characterization.
TLDR
The nitrile ylides 15 are characterized by IR spectroscopy in conjunction with harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequency calculations and have a distinctly propargylic structure in the experimentally observed Z,Z-conformation.
