Inside Back Cover: Exploiting Coordination Isomerism for Controlled Self-Assembly (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 44/2019)
First published: 11 October 2019
Graphical Abstract
Coordination isomerism can be used to control the morphology of a supramolecular polymer, as G. Fernández et al. show in their Communication on page 15626. Tuning the coordination isomerism of a PtII complex leads to tunable coordination isomerism, which in turn allows fully reversible switching between two distinct aggregate species (1D fibers↔2D lamellae) with different photoresponsive behavior. These observations pave the way for novel stimuli-responsive materials and offer a new approach for size control in self-assembled systems.
