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. ER -
