Abstract
A range of morphologically distinct metallosupramolecular Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes has been constructed, based on the tritopic ligand 1,1′,1″-(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(4,4-dimethylpentane-1,3-dione) (H3L). By control of the reaction conditions, it is possible to generate distinct coordination assemblies possessing either macrocyclic or polymeric structures and more importantly distinct activity in catalysis of the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling.
