Abstract

AbstractSolvothermal reactions of the calix[4]arene tetraacetic acid (H4CTA) with zinc nitrate in the presence of α,ω‐diaminoalkanes afford two‐dimensional metallopolycapsular networks of the formula {[Me2NH2]2[G@(Zn2(CTA)2)]⋅(DMF)2⋅(H2O)4}n (G=+NH3–(CH2)n–NH3+, n=2, 3, 4; DMF=N,N‐dimethylformamide). These metallopolycapsular networks are built up of metallocapsules that consist of two CTA and two ZnII ions. Short alkanediyldiammonium (+NH3–(CH2)n–NH3+, n=2, 3, 4) guest ions are accommodated in each capsule of the metallopolycapsular network through a variety of supramolecular interactions. The thermal behaviours and the solid‐state photoluminescent properties of these complexes were also investigated.
