By using tectons that are emissive, specifically phosphorescent, metallacycles and cages are assembled that hold these chromophoric building blocks in specific orientations vis-à-vis one another.

Ruthenium-pyridyl bonding was used as the driving force to assemble a truncated tetrahedral cage with bis-(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) at each corner of the cage as the Lewis-acid acceptor. This cage proved to be more absorptive than the parent chromophore. The emission observed was weaker than the parent and decayed bi-exponentially due to the emergence of a second triplet excited state close in energy to that of the emissive state. Similar features were observed using cyclometalated iridium as the parent chromophore to assemble both truncated tetrahedra and metallosquares. These assemblies, although still less emissive than the parent chromophore, were more emissive than the ruthenium analogue, allowing for a more accurate measure and detailed analysis to be performed. Finally, a Lewis-basic donor based on a platinum-alkynyl motif was synthesized. It was observed that the quantum yield could be controlled by the methylation of a 3 or 4-pyridyl functional group, giving evidence for the existence of a metallo-cumulene resonance structure. This tecton was then used to assemble a triangle, which had an increase in the radiative rate constant leading to a higher quantum yield than the parent chromophore.
