Well-ordered combination of defined coordination spheres and multiple types of ligands (heteroleptic) in a given structure can expand the structural complexity and functional diversity of the resulting metallosupramolecules. Such heteroleptic metallosupramolecular architectures are expected to afford advanced utility in a variety of applications. In this concise review article, recent advances in the development of multi-nuclear-cluster-based heteroleptic multiple-stranded (HLMS) metallosupramolecules are summarized and demonstrated. To construct HLMS metallosupramolecules, one type of multitopic ligands can be employed for building up multiple strands, while another type of ligands can be utilized to construct multi-nuclear clusters. Most HLMS metallosupramolecules adopt helical geometries and have high molecular symmetry, which can be key factors for the structural completion. HLMS metallosupramolecules can be used as basic building blocks for the fabrication of higher-order polymeric or discrete assembly architectures with well-defined geometries.
在给定结构中，通过将定义明确的配位球和多种类型的配体（杂配位体）进行有序组合，可以扩展所得金属超分子的结构复杂性和功能多样性。这种杂配位体金属超分子结构有望在各种应用中提供先进的用途。在这篇简明的综述文章中，总结并展示了多核簇基杂配位体多股（HLMS）金属超分子的最新发展。为了构建 HLMS 金属超分子，可以使用一种类型的多齿配体来构建多条链，而另一种类型的配体可以用于构建多核簇。大多数 HLMS 金属超分子采用螺旋几何形状和高分子对称性，这可能是结构完成的关键因素。HLMS 金属超分子可用作制造具有明确定义几何形状的更高阶聚合或离散组装结构的基本构建块。
