TODO - We show how a template-controlled reaction performed in the organic
solid state can be used to construct a molecule that functions as an
organic building unit of both a metal-organic polyhedron and polygon.
The template is a small organic molecule that organizes two olefins via
hydrogen bonds for a [2+2] photodimerization. The process of utilizing
a molecule to build a molecule that is subsequently used for
self-assembly is inspired by the general two-step process of
template-directed synthesis and self-assembly of Nature that is used to
construct large, functional self-assembled structures. (c) 2005 Elsevier
