A new class of FeII4L4 capsules, based upon a tritopic trialdehyde subcomponent, is reported. One such capsule was prepared diastereoselectively through the incorporation of a chiral amine residue. This amine was displaced by an achiral one, while maintaining the stereochemistry of the cage framework (99% ee); this cage retained its stereochemistry even after 4 days at 90 C. Mechanistic studies indicate the memory displayed by this capsule to be the result of effective stereochemical communication between the metal centers mediated by the rigid 3-fold-symmetric faces, in combination with a stepwise substitution mechanism.

Molecular cages with arylboronate ester caps at the vertices are described. The cages were obtained by metal-templated polycondensation reactions of a tris(2-formylpyridine oxime) ligand with arylboronic acids. Suited templates are triflate or triflimide salts of ZnII, FeII, CoII, or MnII. In the products, the metal ions are coordinated internally to the pyridyl and oximato N atoms adjacent to the boronate ester, resulting in an improved hydrolytic stability of the latter. It is possible to decorate the cages with cyano or aldehyde groups using functionalized arylboronic acids. The aldehyde groups allow for a postsynthetic modification of the cages via an imine bond formation.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging class of crystalline porous polymers with tailor-made structures and functionalities. To facilitate their utilization for advanced applications, it is crucial to develop a systematic approach to control the properties of COFs, including the crystallinity, stability, and functionalities. However, such an integrated design is challenging to achieve. Herein, we report supramolecular strategy-based linkage engineering to fabricate a versatile 2D hydrazone-linked COF platform for the coordination of different transition metal ions. Intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding as well as electrostatic interactions in the antiparallel stacking mode were first utilized to obtain two isoreticular COFs, namely COF-DB and COF-DT. On account of suitable nitrogen sites in COF-DB, the further metalation of COF-DB was accomplished upon the complexation with seven divalent transition metal ions M(II) (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, and Cd) under mild conditions. The resultant M/COF-DB exhibited extended π-conjugation, improved crystallinity, enhanced stability, and additional functionalities as compared to the parent COF-DB. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of the coordination bonding in M/COF-DB allows for the easy replacement of metal ions through a postsynthetic exchange. In particular, the coordination mode in Pd/COF-DB endows it with excellent catalytic activity and cyclic stability as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, outperforming its amorphous counterparts and Pd/COF-DT. This strategy provides an opportunity for the construction of 2D COFs with designable functions and opens an avenue to create COFs as multifunctional systems.
