The [enPd(II)]2+ (en = ethylenediamine) unit has emerged as a versatile building block in molecular self-assembly. In particular, the 90 degrees coordination angle of the metal has been judiciously used in the design of new discrete two- and three-dimensional structures. Our last 15 years of work with the Pd(II)-cornered unit is summarized in this Account, from the spontaneous formation of a Pd4 square metal complex to a family of architectures such as cages, bowls, boxes, tubes, catenanes, and spheres.
[乙二胺合钯（II）]²⁺（en = 乙二胺）单元已成为分子自组装中一种通用的结构单元。特别是，金属的90度配位角已被巧妙地用于设计新型离散二维和三维结构。本综述总结了我们在过去15年中对钯（II）角单元的研究工作，内容涵盖从自发形成的钯四方金属配合物到一系列如笼状、碗状、盒状、管状、索烃状和球状的结构。
