Imitating micelles as a way to control coordination self-assembly: cage-polymer switching directed rationally by solvent polarity or pH

Abstract

Disguising a metal complex as a micelle by using amphiphilic phosphine ligands enables it to switch between a coordination polymer and a discrete cage in response to solvent polarity or pH; this medium-dependent behaviour of the complex is rational because it parallels that of true micelles.
