Abstract
This article reviews the recent development of the weak-bond-induced organization of well-defined structures, or supramolecular self-assembly. This phenomenon has been showing remarkable potential to construct architectural structures, such as helices, macrocycles, cages, tubes, grids, interlocked systems, etc., from programmed components through weak bond interactions. Examples disclosed here show that, of many weak bonds, coordinate bonds are particularly useful for the supramolecular self-assembly owing to their versatile “algorisms” (e.g., linear, trigonal, square planer, tetrahedral, etc.) in bond formation.Keywords
