Summary

Engineering discrete molecular architectures of defined shapes and sizes using metal-ligand coordination as driving force is an active field of current research. [1] The architectural advantage of the rigid square-planar coordination environment of Pd(II) and Pt(II) has long been utilized for this purpose. My lecture will focus on the design principle including several examples of electron rich molecular nano-cages that are potential in sensing electron deficient explosives like TNT, DNT etc. [2,3] My lecture will also focus on the self-assembly of water soluble Pd(II) molecular cages and use of their confined nanospace  as molecular vessels to perform several organic transformations in environmental friendly aqueous medium in catalytic manner. Self-sorting in organic cage formation and cage to cage transformations will also be highlighted.
