Self-assembly in self-organized inorganic systems: a view of programmed metallosupramolecular architectures

Abstract

This review summarizes the recent advances that have been performed on self-assembled inorganic systems, especially on helical systems, metallo-exoreceptors and on architectures formed from multiple components. In addition, applications as well as the perspectives for these designed systems are also discussed.
