Abstract
The assembly of a rigid macrocycle with two exotopic phenanthroline binding sites in combination with linear bis- or trisphenanthrolines and copper(I) ions is used to generate nanoscale double and triple deckers, the latter showing a tubular structure. With supramolecular chemistry expanding to dynamic, large cavity, nanoscale structures, it becomes increasingly important to use robust assembly protocols as well as reliable characterization techniques. To fully elucidate and to describe the dynamic nature of metallonanoscaffolds with large voids, we applied a battery of both direct and indirect solution-state characterization methods. These methods along with the conventional direct methods provide a very useful tool for characterizing tubular nanoscaffold aggregates.
