Template and Solid-State-Assisted Assembly of an M9L6 Expanded Coordination Cage for Medium-Sized Molecule Encapsulation
In the mid-1990s, through molecular self-assembly techniques, larger three-dimensional closed cavities were effectively constructed. The M6L4 cage is one of the most efficient self-assembling hosts, formed by the self-assembly of six Pd(II) or Pt(II) 90-degree blocks and four triazine-core triangular ligands, featuring an effective hydrophobic cavity of approximately 450 Å3 capable of encapsulating one or … Read more
