Non-covalent and covalent chemistry can be controlled by using synthetic tools, such as templates. However, selective multicomponent self-assembly remains challenging because of the many kinetic intermediates with trap-state abilities, hampering access to desired products. Now exo-templating via pseudorotaxane formation has been shown to reduce pathway complexity in the multicomponent self-assembly of M12L24 nanospheres.
