Abstract

Interesting molecular architectures were obtained by combining heterodimeric quadruple hydrogen-bonding and neutral metal corner braces. The selection of cyclic and noncyclic aggregates from a random mixture of two-component assemblies has been achieved through metal coordination and careful adjustment of monomer rigidity and dimensions.
