Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 May 4;53(37):5200-5203. doi: 10.1039/c7cc02245j.

Abstract

A cubic nanocage (O symmetry) that exhibits inherent chirality and has a covalent, rigid skeleton with molecule-sized entrance portals was obtained by means of dynamic covalent chemistry using a reaction between aldehyde-functionalized resorcin[4]arene and hydrazine.
