Self-assembly adamantanoid complexes

For instance, adamantanoid architectures are formed on the self-assembly of tetradentate XB donors with tetradentate XB acceptors, both the complementary tectons alternating at the nodes of the network (this is the case in the complex CBr4/Et4N+Cl and its bromide and iodide analogues [192], in the complex tetrakis(4-pyridyl)pentaerythritol/tetrakis(4-iodiotetralluorophenyl)pentaerythritol [195], and in other systems [197]). 

Adamantanoid architectures are formed also on the self-assembly of tetradentate XB acceptors, that sit at the nodes, with bidentate XB donors, that work as nodes spacers (e.g. in the complex l,4-diiodooctafluorobutane/tetrakis(4-pyridyl)pentaerythritol [195]).
