Abstract
We show how a template-controlled reaction performed in the organic solid state can be used to construct a molecule that functions as an organic building unit of both a metal-organic polyhedron and polygon. The template is a small organic molecule that organizes two olefins via hydrogen bonds for a [2+2] photodimerization. The process of utilizing a molecule to build a molecule that is subsequently used for self-assembly is inspired by the general two-step process of template-directed synthesis and self-assembly of Nature that is used to construct large, functional self-assembled structures.
A metal-organic polygon and polyhedron are obtained from a molecule constructed in the organic solid state using a linear template.
