Simultaneous Self-Assembly of a [2]Catenane, a Trefoil Knot, and a Solomon Link from a Simple Pair of Ligands

A topological triptych: Three molecular links, a [2]catenane, a trefoil knot, and a Solomon link, were obtained in one pot through the self‐assembly of two simple ligands in the presence of ZnII (see picture). The approach relied on dynamic covalent chemistry and metal templation.
