Abstract

Selective self-assembly in multicomponent mixtures offers a method for isolating desired components from complex systems for the rapid production of functional materials. Developing approaches capable of selective assembly of "target" components into intended three-dimensional structures is challenging because of the intrinsically high complexity of multicomponent systems. Herein, we report the selective coordination-driven self-assembly of metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) from a series of complex multicomponent systems (including crude plant extracts) into thin films via metal chelation with phenolic ligands. The metal (FeIII) selectively assembles low abundant phenolic components (e.g., myri..
