High symmetry metallosupramolecular architectures (MSAs) have been exploited for a
range of applications including molecular recognition, catalysis and drug delivery. Recently …

The fields of metal‐organic cages (MOCs) and metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are both
highly topical and continue to develop at a rapid pace. Despite clear synergies between the …

Biological encapsulants, such as viral capsids and ferritin protein cages, use many identical
subunits to tile the surface of a polyhedron. Inspired by these natural systems, synthetic …

Anthracene crude oil is a common source of phenanthrene for its industrial use. The
isolation of phenanthrene from this source is a challenging task due to very similar physical …

Guest capture and release are important properties of self-assembling nanostructures. Over
time, a significant fraction of guests might engage in short-lived states with different …

Introduction of atropisomeric axes into a bent bispyridine ligand leads to the quantitative
formation of a complex mixture of atropisomeric M2L4 cages upon treatment with metal ions …

Classical β-diketones have long been demonstrated to be excellent chelating ligands for a
wide range of metal ions from across the Periodic Table. More recently, bis-and tris …

Although many impressive metallo‐supramolecular architectures have been reported, they
tend towards high symmetry structures and avoid extraneous functionality to ensure high …

Through coordination‐driven self‐assembly, aesthetically captivating structures can be
formed by tuning the length or flexibility of various components. The self‐assembly of an …

Biological systems employ multimetallic assemblies to achieve a range of functions. Here
we demonstrate the preparation of metal–organic cages that contain either homobimetallic …
