Abstract:
A tetraphenylethene-based Pd2L4 metallacage was self-assembled from four TPE-pyridine ligands with two Pd2+ ions. This metallacage with D4 symmetry exhibited a classical aggregation-induced emission property in different solvents and reversible stimuli-responsive behaviour with chloride ions and silver ions, successively.
