| Abstract: | Here, we report on the multicomponent self-assembly and single crystal X-ray diffraction study of a series of three interlocked mixed valence mono- and hetero-metallic 2]-catenanes made of 2 × 2] metallo-grids. They show unique structural features and highlight the essential roles of both the Cu(ii)/Cu(i) pair and of the conformationally adaptable organic ligands for achieving catenation of grids. |
