Inflating face-capped Pd6L8 coordination cages

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Aug 21;54(68):9529-9532. doi: 10.1039/c8cc04870c.

Abstract

Tritopic metalloligands were used to form two Pd6L8-type coordination cages. With molecular weights of more than 15 kDa and PdPd distances of up to 4.2 nm, these complexes are among the largest palladium cages described to date.
