Self-assembly of three-dimensional M3L2 cages via a new flexible organometallic clip

Org Lett. 2006 Aug 31;8(18):3991-4. doi: 10.1021/ol0614626.

Abstract

The simple combination of tritopic pyridine donor linkers with a new flexible acceptor "clip" in a 2:3 stoichiometric ratio generates three-dimensional M3L2 cages which possess large cavities in essentially quantitative yields.
