Abstract	The self-assembly processes through coordination chemistry for bottom-up construction of nanoscale organic-inorganic objects and patterns have received tremendous attention not only owing to their aesthetic architectures but also to their potential applications in various fields. To achieve precise assembly of building motifs into the predictable structures still remains a great challenge because numerous factors can influence the assembling behavior. To overcome the obstacles, we devoted our efforts to developing new methodologies for coordination-driven self-assembly. So far, several self-assembly approaches based on different design principles have been established. Particularly, the complementary complexation pairs of terpyridine-based ligands were able to reduce kinetic errors in a multicomponent self-assembly process, so that the ligand pair was successfully applied to construction of the novel metallo-supramolecular structures not accessible through conventional methods. On the other hand, the heteroleptic complexation was utilized in preparation of metallo-supramolecular rod-coil P3HT-b-PEO diblock copolymers. The self-assembled nanostructures of the resultant amphiphilic copolymers in solution were investigated and their dynamic features were demonstrated by reversible complexation-decomplexation reactions. These and other aspects of self-assembly methodologies will be presented.
