Abstract
Dynamic formation of self-assemblies from molecular components is a useful and efficient way to produce molecular and supramolecular architectures with sophisticated functions. The labile coordination bond and dynamic covalent bond as a reversible bond have often been used to create a well-organized supramolecular self-assembly. In order to realize sophisticated novel functions of the supramolecular self-assemblies, dipyrrin complexes have recently been employed as a functional unit and incorporated into the supramolecular architectures because of their outstanding properties and functions such as a high photostability and strong light absorption/emission. This review article summarizes recent development in functional supramolecular architectures of the dipyrrin complexes produced by coordination to a metal ion and dynamic covalent bond formation. We first describe the synthesis and unique functions of a series of discrete supramolecular architectures: helicates, macrocycles, and cages. The polymeric supramolecular self-assemblies with 1D, 2D, and 3D structures are then introduced as a functional infinite supramolecular architecture.
Highlights
Dynamic formation of self-assemblies consisting of homo- and hetero-molecular components is a useful and efficient way to produce molecular and supramolecular architectures with sophisticated functions, which would not be realized by typical single molecules
We introduce and review recent research regarding supramolecular architectures with the dipyrrin complexes produced by coordination to a metal ion and dynamic covalent bond formation
Studies of supramoleular architectures created via the dynamic reversible bond formation have significantly progressed to afford more elaborate structures and functions
