Abstract

Four water-soluble cage-like hosts (1·4NO3-: {[(bpy)2Pd2]2L12}(NO3)4, 2·4NO3-: {[(bpy)2Pd2]2L22}(NO3)4, 3·6NO3-: {[(bpy)2Pd2]3L32}(NO3)6 and 4·6NO3-: {[(bpy)2Pd2]3L42}(NO3)6) have been successfully self-assembled by coordinating the flexible amide based polypyrazole ligands (H2L1: N1,N4-di(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)terephthalamide, H2L2: N1,N4-bis(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-terephthalamide, H3L3: N1,N3,N5-tri(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide and H3L4: N1,N3,N5-tris(3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide) with dipalladium corners ([(bpy)2Pd2(NO3)2](NO3)2, where bpy = 2,2΄-bipyridine) in aqueous solution. Their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, ESI-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Notably, all the four supramolecular assemblies are capable of adsorbing iodine molecules via halogen bonds and other supramolecular interactions.
