Coordination-driven self-assembly of an iridium-cornered prismatic cage and encapsulation of three heteroguests in its large cavity

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 14;51(21):4492-5. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09494h.

Abstract

A hollow iridium-cornered prismatic cage was self-assembled without the assistance of any template. The cage was found to be capable of encapsulating heteroguest's triplet in its perfect sized cavity, producing the first demonstration of quintuple structure by an octahedral metal cornered prismatic cage.
