✦ Synopsis
A simple, general systematic strategy has been developed for the rational design by self-assembly of diverse metallacyclic polygons and polyhedra using coordination as the motif. The methodology is illustrated by the self-assembly of various molecular squares, molecular hexagons, and 3 D species, new members of the family of abiotic supramolecular entities. The design features and some advantages of the coordination motif are discussed.
