Modular Metal‐Quinone Networks with Tunable Architecture and Functionality
Abstract: Nanostructured materials with tunable structures and functionality are of interest in diverse areas. Herein, metal ions are coordinated with quinones through metal‐acetylacetone coordination bonds to generate a class of structurally tunable, universally adhesive, hydrophilic, and pH‐degradable materials. A library of metal‐quinone networks (MQNs) is produced from five model quinone ligands paired with nine metal ions, leading to the assembly of particles, tubes, capsules, and films. Importantly, MQNs show bidirectional pH‐responsive disassembly in acidic and alkaline solutions, where the quinone ligands mediate the disassembly kinetics, enabling temporal and spatial control over the release of multiple components using multilayered MQNs. Leveraging this tunable release and the inherent medicinal properties of quinones, MQN prodrugs with a high drug loading (>89 wt %) are engineered using doxorubicin for anti‐cancer therapy and shikonin for the inhibition of the main protease in the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus.
