Abstract Tailor-made supramolecular architectures are a hot issue in the fields of nanotechnology, molecular sieves, ion sensors, recognition, confined space reactors, and fluidic transport systems. One of the most efficient and convenient process for the construction of fruitful transition metal compounds is "self-assembly" which the molecules adopt a defined arrangement without guidance or management from an outside source. A proper choice of suitable interactions such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, π∙∙∙π interactions, and electrostatic interactions as well as covalent interactions is essential in self-assembly process and determines the stability of the resulting supramolecular architecture. In particular, coordination bonds show higher modularity in the bond strengths and angles compared to other weak interactions. That is, task-specific metal coordination receptor can be specifically designed and synthesized according to the selection of basic components such as the coordination geometry of the metal ions, the binding site of the donating atoms, the reactivity, charge, and lengths of the ligands. In this presentation, I'd like to present my previous studies not only on the rational design and construction of transition metal complexes by self-assembly of multi-dentate ligands with central metal ions but also on the various chemical phenomena such as structural switching, guest inclusion, and (photo)chemical performance including radical trapping, energy-transfer, and photocatalysis.
