Coordination geometries of transition metals play vital roles in the self-assembly process of supramolecular coordination complexes. Herein, seven-coordinate 3d metal ions were applied as templates and catalytically active sites for subcomponent self-assembly that resulted in a new category of covalent metallacycles. Single-crystal structures showed that the sizes, configurations, and functionalization of covalent metallacycles could be tuned by the selection of rigid dihydrazide, transition metal ions, and prefunctionalized subcomponents, respectively. Moreover, metallacycles decorated with carboxylic groups could be employed as precursors to prepare aerogels through hierarchical self-assembly, which also exhibited high catalytic activity for cycloaddition of CO2 into cyclic carbonates.

Bi(iii) ions are capable of reversible, multicomponent self assembly with suitable tris-coordinate ligands. The nature of the self-assembled structures observed are dependent on the ligand coordination geometry, ligand protonation state and Bi concentration. These assemblies can exploit the maximum number of coordination sites at the Bi vertices (nine), and the self-assembly process has been studied by 1D NMR, Diffusion NMR, ESI-MS and X-ray crystallographic analysis. V-shaped coordinating ligands reversibly form discrete M 2L4, M2L3, and M2L 2 complexes dependent on ligand/bismuth concentration, whereas a linear coordinating ligand forms a single discrete M3L3 assembly.
