  • HETEROCYCLIC MACROCYCLE TEMPLATED METAL-ORGANIC MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20130184456
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a heterocyclic macrocycle-templated supramolecular metal organic material, the process comprising preparing a reaction mixture containing a metal, a heterocyclic macrocycle, and organic ligands and forming, in the reaction mixture, a heterocyclic macrocycle-templated metal organic material comprising the metal, the heterocyclic macrocycle and the ligands by template-directed synthesis with the heterocyclic macrocycle serving as the template and being encapsulated within a cage of the template metal organic material.

  • METAL ORGANIC MATERIALS AS BIOMIMETIC ENZYMES
    Publication number: 20130023403
    Abstract: A supramolecular assembly comprising a metal-organic molecular framework and a heterocyclic macrocycle guest molecule. The metal-organic molecular framework comprises cubicuboctahedral cavities, octahemioctahedral cavities and trigonal cavities in a 1:1:2 ratio, respectively, and the heterocyclic macrocycle guest molecule is hosted by the octahemioctahedral cavity. In a preferred embodiment, the heterocyclic macrocycle guest molecule is a heme.
