Abstract

This Frontier article reviews diverse structures of Schiff-base macrocyclic Zn^II complexes derived from a family of flexible pendant-armed extended dialdehydes via a preorganized synthetic strategy and the corresponding structure-determining factors, including primary cationic template effects and secondary complementary template effects. In addition, further post-modification and supramolecular self-assembly of Schiff-base Zn^II macrocycles and their possible applications in a variety of areas have been discussed.
