Metal–organic cages (MOCs) have become an intensely studied class of abiotic host
molecules. This is due to the ability to generate a myriad of polyhedral architectures from …

In chemistry, function and behaviour flow directly from structure. As chemists seek to develop
highly complex functional molecules, we need to harness routes to complex structures. In …

Azulene, a blue structural isomer of naphthalene, is introduced as the backbone for a new
family of Pd (II)-based self-assemblies. Three organic ligands, equipped with varying donor …

Heteroleptic coordination cages, nonstatistically assembled from a set of matching ligands,
can be obtained by mixing individual components or via cage-to-cage transformations from …

The addition of two unsymmetric malonate esters to the Buckminster fullerene C60 can lead
to 22 spectroscopically distinguishable isomeric products and therefore represents a …

A new sequential metalation strategy that enables the assembly of a new more robust
reduced symmetry heterobimetallic [PdPtL4] 4+ cage C is reported. By exploiting a low …

Heteroleptic metal‐organic cages, formed through integrative self‐assembly of ligand
mixtures, are highly attractive as reduced symmetry supramolecular hosts. Ensuring high …

Construction of supramolecular structures with internal functionalities is a promising
approach to build enzyme‐like cavities. The endo‐functionalized [Pd12L24] and [Pd2L4] …

Metal‐organic cages (MOCs) are popular host architectures assembled from ligands and
metal ions/nodes. Assembling structurally complex, low‐symmetry MOCs with anisotropic …

A rare gyrobifastigium architecture (GB) was constructed by self‐assembly of a tetradentate
donor (L) with PdII acceptor in DMSO. The GB was converted to its isomeric tetragonal barrel …
