Résumé
In this review we describe some of most representative examples of metallosupramolecular architectures and dynamic hybrid materials recently published by our group in which supramolecular functional devices are constitutionally self-sorted by crystallization or by sol-gel polymerization. The self-selection is based on constitutional interactions resulting in the dynamic amplification of self-optimized architectures. The dynamic constitutional materials reported here therefore illustrate the convergence of the combinatorial self-sorting of dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) with the specific self-optimized functions, extending the application of constitutional dynamic chemistry 2 from materials science to functional constitutional devices.
