Metal-directed formation of three-dimensional M(3)L(2) trigonal-bipyramidal cages

Org Lett. 2001 Oct 4;3(20):3141-3. doi: 10.1021/ol0164684.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] The simple combination of two angular tritopic pyridine donor linkers (109 degrees bond angle) with three ditopic platinum acceptors (90 degrees bond angle) leads to essentially quantitative formation of self-assembled M(3)L(2) trigonal-bipyramidal (TBP) supramolecular species.
