Description:
This thesis explores the self-assembly, the host-guest chemistry and the redox behavior of novel coordination double-cages based on organic bispyridyl ligands and Pd(II) metal ions. The formation of these double-cages depends on the interplay of many factors, such as solvent, temperature, metal coordination sites, length and shape of ligands, counter anions and guest molecules. These new three-dimensional architectures with nanoscopic size are of special interest for numerous potential applications, in particular for usage as molecular sensors, as nanoreactors or in photoelectronic devices....
