Abstract

Recently, supramolecular assemblies have been created as responsive, reversible, and dynamic materials. By a modular approach, we discuss the reversible cross-metathesis of terminal olefins containing self-complementary hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor arrays. These compounds are readily constructed from 2,6-diaminotriazines or cytosine and chiral elements can be installed from modified amino acids. Dynamic combinatorial libraries should be accessible via this approach.

Key words

metathesis - amino acids - ruthenium - supramolecular chemistry - dimerizations
