✦ Synopsis

Metal-coordination-directed self-assembly of polymers and discrete nanostructures is a very active research area. [1] The construction of predictable architectures having useful electronic, catalytic, or host±guest properties is the driving force behind this work. To date, the vast majority of reported compounds have metal centers connected by simple organic molecules that serve as multifunctional ligands or spacers. [1] We recently demonstrated, however, that the p-bonded
