    abstract = "In this microreview, we show how principles of coordination-driven self
-assembly can be used to direct chemical reactivity in the organic solid
state. We also show how products obtained from the templated solid-state
reactions can be used as organic building units of metal-organic
frameworks and coordination capsules. Self-assembled structures based on
dinuclear Zn-II and Ag-I complexes are used to direct stereocontrolled
[2+2] photodimerizations of vinylpyridines in the solid state in up to
quantitative yield. The products are used as bi- and polytopic ligands
of self-assembled coordination capsules and metal-organic frameworks. We
also describe emerging metal-based approaches to conduct mechanochemical
reactions in organic solids. In addition to the field of supramolecular
coordination chemistry, these observations impact the field of green
chemistry."
