Metal-Ugand interactions are often used to fabricate supramolecular systems with regular shapes, e.g., double helicates, racks, grids, and linear rods [36]. These systems are well understood with respect to their behaviors in the solid state as well as on surfaces. However, little was known about the binding force of the supramolecular complexes. Several systems on the topic of metaUo-supramolecules... 

In the realm of supramolecular synthesis, the construction of rack, ladder, and grid architectures represents a particular case of self-assembly, which relies on the three basic levels of operation of a programmed supramolecular system recognition (selective interaction of complementary components) orientation (building up the stmcture through the con ect spatial disposition of the components) and termination, that is, the formation of the desired discrete supramolecular entity.
