Self-assembly of cuprous iodide cluster-based calix[4]resorcinarenes and photocatalytic properties

Abstract

The controlled self-assembly of cuprous iodide cluster-based supramolecular architectures with a tunable structure is still a big challenge to date. We adopt a conformation-adaptive self-assembly strategy to precisely construct two [CumIn] calix[4]resorcinarenes including one-dimensional MOF 1 ({[Cu6I5]2[CuI2]3(L1)3}n) with [Cu6I5] tricubane cluster nodes and [Cu8I8] type supramolecular cluster 2 ([(Cu8I8)L22]) from ditopic cavitands L1L2. Furthermore, such emissive complexes exhibited high photocatalytic activity to the azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) in water.
