This talk will highlight our efforts in two areas of hybrid organic/inorganic materials. First, a strategy for the synthesis of NHC-functionalized gold nanorods that display exceptional stability under a range of biologically relevant conditions will be described. Second, our recent efforts to integrate metallosupramolecular assembly with amorphous polymers to produce hybrid polymer networks with unique structures and properties will be discussed. In particular, a new class of Cu-based polymer metal-organic cage materials (polyMOCs) with inherent catalytic properties will be introduced.
