Self-assembly of supramolecules containing half-sandwich iridium units

Supramolecular architectures resulting from coordination-driven self-assemblies have attracted attention from chemists owing to their diverse topologies. Among these supramolecular self-assemblies, two- or three-dimensional structures assembled on the corners by half-sandwich iridium units occupy a significant position. This review focuses on supramolecular complexes with rectangular, prismatic, and cage morphologies cornered by half-sandwich iridium organometallic linkers. The structural architectures and approaches for synthesizing these species are discussed in detail (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
