Abstract
The ultimate objective of the work on molecular assembly in my laboratory is the development of a molecule-sized “Tinkertoy” construction kit analogous to the Tinkertoy kit for children.1,2 It should consist of a set of connectors and a set of rigid-rod molecules available in a multitude of lengths and diameters. They should not absorb light and should be inert thermally, toward reduction or oxidation, toward solvents, and toward most other chemicals These rigid-rod molecules should be provided with terminal axial substituents suitable for covalent attachment to the connectors. The degree of control over the attachment reactions is to be sufficient for the stepwise assembly of both simple and complicated structures. Both permanent and reversible attachment reactions will be needed, as will suitable temporary blocking groups.
