34. Salen ligands/complexes appended with pyridine groups at the 3 and 3′ positions have been recently used to construct loop- and square-type assemblies. The major difference with respect to the current approach is that in these studies the metal center of the salphen unit was not used to induce assembly formation. See: a) K. E. Splan, A. M. Massari, G. A. Morris, S.-S. Sun, E. Reina, S. T. Nguyen, J. T. Hupp, Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 2003, 2348-2351;

38. Please note that the isolation of the precursor ligands is not necessary with this approach and that asymmetrically substituted salphen-Zn complexes can be readily accessed.
