  1. Establishing a strategy for realizing programmed self-assembly is critical in manufacturing materials with functional hybrid structures. In this work, we introduce a robust methodology for enabling multi-component self-assembly using the concept of chirality-directed self-assembly. A specific combination of heterochiral Zn(II) methylene bis(oxazoline) (BOX) complexes can be selectively generated when combinations of enantiomers of chiral BOX ligands are mixed in the presence of Zn(Oac)2. The resulting Zn(II) BOX complexes, unlike non-covalent bonds, are highly stable and stay intact at elevated temperatures, yet can be reversibly disintegrated under mild conditions using EDTA. This approach can be easily applied to multi-functionalize various solid supports enabling the one-pot generation of multi-functional hybrid structures.
