Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Owing to the large library of ligands and metal complexes that are eligible, coordination-driven self-assembly has allowed for the synthesis of a wide database of more and more sophisticated metalla-rings and -cages, as recently illustrated by interlocked or heteroleptic systems. Controlling the thermodynamics guiding their construction and exploring their properties in applications ranging from catalysis to drug delivery constitute topics of strong current interest. On this basis, the scope of this Special Issue covers the last related developments, including new synthetic strategies leading to discrete metalla-assemblies, and any types of applications including biomedical and material sciences.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Chiral Self-Sorting in Truxene-Based Metallacages
by Simon Séjourné, Antoine Labrunie, Clément Dalinot, Amina Benchohra, Vincent Carré, Frédéric Aubriet, Magali Allain, Marc Sallé and Sébastien Goeb

Abstract
Two chiral face-rotating metalla-assembled polyhedra were constructed upon self-assembling achiral components, i.e., a tritopic ligand based on a truxene core (10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno[1,2-a;1′,2′-c]fluorene) and two different hydroxyquinonato–bridged diruthenium complexes. Both polyhedra were characterized in solution as well as in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. [...] Read more.
Two chiral face-rotating metalla-assembled polyhedra were constructed upon self-assembling achiral components, i.e., a tritopic ligand based on a truxene core (10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno[1,2-a;1′,2′-c]fluorene) and two different hydroxyquinonato–bridged diruthenium complexes. Both polyhedra were characterized in solution as well as in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. In both cases, the self-sorting process leading to only two homo-chiral enantiomers was governed by non-covalent interactions between both truxene units that faced each other. Full article

A new [Zn2L2] metallocycle bearing two metal centers that can coordinate ancillary ligands and a pocket suitable to host guest molecules is reported. These two features are exploited by reacting the metallocycle with a pyridine ligand to self-assemble in the solid state an extended intertwined system with the rare 1D + 1D → 1D topology. This interpenetrated architecture is supported by π···π stacking between two pyridine units of two different metallocycles in the pocket of a third metallocycle. Full article

Liquid crystals are among us, in living organisms and in electronic devices, and they have contributed to the development of our modern society. Traditionally developed by organic chemists, the field of liquid-crystalline materials is now involving chemists and physicists of all domains (computational, physical, inorganic, supramolecular, electro-chemistry, polymers, materials, etc.,). Such diversity in researchers confirms that the field remains highly active and that new applications can be foreseen in the future. In this review, liquid-crystalline materials developed around coordination complexes are presented, focusing on those showing thermotropic behavior, a relatively unexplored family of compounds.
