Coordination Assemblies of Metallacyclic, Prismatic and Tubular Molecular Architectures Based on the Non‐rigid Ligands

This microreview covers recent advances in the assembly of coordination molecular architectures showing cyclic, prismatic and tubular structures based on the semi‐rigid or flexible ligands. Four assembly routes are outlined depending on the symmetry interactions between specific ligands and metal ions. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
