Book excerpt: The first generation of molecular rectangles, based on a tetracarbonylrhenium(I)thiolate dimer, was a proof-of-concept design, and served as the basis for a synthetic strategy to more useful molecular rectangles. The second generation of rectangles, based on a bifunctional chelating ligand, 2,2'-bipyrimidine, and rigid dipyridyl ligands (e.g., 4,4'-bipyridine) with tricarbonylrhenium(I) corners, gave a rectangular framework of ∼6 x 12 A. These molecules displayed solution-based affinity for an anionic aromatic species, as monitored by 1H NMR. The synthesis and characterization of hexametallic systems based on the bipyrimidine edge are also described.
