Abstract
A variety of research reports on novel supramolecular topologies have been published over the last years.However,it is still a great challenge to tap into the inner functional properties of these complexes.Herein,two tetranuclear metallamacrocycles 1 and 2 and four octonuclear[2]catenanes 3-6 were constructed successfully via a coordination-driven self-assembly strategy,by conscious design and use of the tetram-ethyl bidentate pyridine ligand L1,and the appropriate selection of six binuclear half-sandwich rhodium building units with different longitudinal dimensions.The complexes have been fully characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and NMR spectroscopy.Furthermore,near-infrared photothermal studies of the obtained[2]catenanes reveal different photothermal response in solid and solution states,which may be attributed to a strong fluorescence quenching effect of the half-sandwich organometallic fragment and different conjugated effect of Cp*Rh based building blocks in the interlocking structures.The photothermal conversion efficiencies of[2]catenanes 4-6 fall in the range 30.5%-16.5%respectively.This contribution aims to play a key role in the experimental development of Cp*-based photothermal materials.
