Design and self-assembly of variform organometallic macrocycle with terminal imidazole-based bridging ligands utilizing joints twist and rotation

Organometallic macrocycles based on bridge ligands with terminal imidazole groups show the formation of various patterns. The end imidazolyl finishes the conjugated system on the back bone and can freely twist or rotate just like the joints of a human body such as the knee and wrist.
