Cover Picture: Metallomacrocycles That Incorporate Cofacially Aligned Diimide Units (Chem. Asian J. 5/2006)

Abstract: The weak‐link approach is illustrated by the reaction of hemilabile phosphinoalkyl thioether ligands that contain incorporated pyromellitic and naphthalene diimide moieties with [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 or [{Rh(norbornadiene)Cl}2]. As a consequence, the two diimide units become cofacially aligned, as shown in the cover picture, within a supramolecular macrocyclic architecture. The introduction of ancillary ligands to the intermediates causes the weak thioether–metal bonds to break, thus generating a large macrocycle in which the distance between diimide units is significantly larger than for the intermediates. For more information, see the Full Paper by C. A. Mirkin and co‐workers on page 686 ff.
