Description
Summary:The precise construction and programmable assembly of structures with specific topologies remain persistent challenges in crystal engineering, primarily constrained by the limited availability of building blocks. Utilizing a synergistic approach that combines an in situ-formed concave polyoxovanadate (POV) cluster {VV<sub>4</sub>} with specifically designed 120° ditopic carboxylic acid bridging ligands, we successfully synthesized a series of wine-rack-type supramolecular macrocycles characterized by the general formula [(V<sub>5</sub>O<sub>9</sub>Cl)<sub>4</sub>(L)<sub>8</sub>]<sup>8−</sup>. The experimental results demonstrate that the introduction of sulfonic acid groups enables controlled structural extension into 1D chain and 2D layer architectures, manifesting the unique advantages of POV-based wine-rack units in constructing framework-based porous materials. This work significantly contributes to the structural diversity of wine-rack-type supramolecular architectures while simultaneously highlighting the great potential of polyoxometalate-driven supramolecular assemblies in materials science.
