Organometallic compounds are building blocks for materials with applications in catalysis, pharmaceutical production and molecular sensors. Research presented in this thesis focused on the design and synthesis of compounds with supramolecular architectures. Crystal engineering these new compounds provides the basis for the next generation of advanced materials required by industry
