Effect of a chiral ligand in the self-assembly of subphthalocyanine-based metallosupramolecular capsules

摘要

Subphthalocyanine-based metallosupramolecular capsules have been self-assembled employing a chiral phosphine (S-BINAP). This ligand seems to provide an arrangement of the coordination positions of platinum that inverts the known process of chiral self-discrimination of subphthalocyanines, which is typically produced between the enantiomers of the macrocycle when a nonchiral ligand is used for the self-assembly. In this article, we describe preliminary studies on the effect of S-BINAP on the self-assembly subphthalocyanine capsules.
