DESCRIPTION:Molecular self-assembly based on coordination chemistry has ma
 de an explosive development in recent years.  Over the last >25years\, we 
 have been showing that the simple combination of transition-metal’s squa
 re planer geometry (a 90-degree coordination angle) with pyridine-based br
 idging ligands gives rise to the quantitative self-assembly of nano-sized\
 , discrete organic frameworks.  Representative examples include square mol
 ecules (1990)\,1 linked-ring molecules (1994)\,2 cages (1995)\,3 capsules 
 (1999)\,4 and tubes (2004)5 that are self-assembled from simple and small 
 components. Originated from these earlier works\, current interests in our
  group focus on i) molecular confinement effects in coordination cages\,6 
 ii) solution chemistry in crystalline porous complexes (as applied to “c
 rystalline sponge method”)\,7 and iii) and giant self-assemblies\,8 as d
 isclosed in this lecture.  \n\n1. M. Fujita\, J. Yazaki\, and K. Ogura\, J
