Synthesis of a Tetrahedral Metal-Organic Supramolecular Cage with Dendritic Carbazole Arms.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, incredible endeavors have been devoted to the design and self-assembly of discrete metal-organic cages (MOCs) with expanding intricacy and functionality. The controlled synthesis of metal-organic supramolecular cages with large branched chains remains an interesting and challenging work in supramolecular chemistry. Herein, a tetrahedral metal-organic supramolecular cage (Zn^II₄L₄) containing 12 dendritic carbazole arms is unprecedentedly constructed through coordination-driven subcomponent self-assembly and characterized in different ways. Interestingly, tetrahedral supramolecular Cage-1 exhibited the potential for aggregation-induced emission (AIE) performance and stimulus-responsive luminescence features, and it achieved color-tunab
