New gallium(III) and iron(III) endohedral complexes were obtained from a hemicryptophane ligand bearing suitable binding sites for octahedral metal coordination. The solid-state structures of the free host and of the complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The metal ion is linked to the hydrazone nitrogen and the phenolate oxygen atoms, yielding a distorted octahedral geometry around the encapsulated metal. The two isomorphous structures of the metal complexes reveal the exclusive formation of PΔ/MΛ enantiomeric pairs.
