We report the properties of a shape-persistent tetra-terpyridine ligand whose coordination to transition metal ions guides its three-dimensional self-assembly in two steps: at first, nanoscale objects form, which with time, self-assemble into micrometer structures. This work highlights the potential for control of the molecular self-assembly of molecules on the nanoscale, and the successive self-assembly of the formed supramolecular nanosystems to yield mesoscopic objects.
