Self-assembly of molecular prisms via an organometallic "clip"

Org Lett. 2002 Mar 21;4(6):913-5. doi: 10.1021/ol017296d.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Under the appropriate conditions, the combination of two tritopic pyridyl ligands with three metal-containing molecular "clips" spontaneously generates supramolecular coordination cages with trigonal prismatic frameworks.
