3-Pyridineboronic acid → boroxine → pentadecanuclear boron cage → 3D molecular network: a sequence based on two levels of self-complementary self-assembly†
Abstract
A pentadecanuclear boroxine-cage has been generated through a single-component self-assembly process, and serves as a twofold concave–convex self-complementary tecton for the assembly of a complex 3D molecular network.
