Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>How about a different geometry?</bold> Depending on the reaction conditions, a threefold‐symmetric triamine is observed to assemble into either the novel icosahedral [Fe^II₁₂L₁₂] capsule <bold>1</bold>, or tetrahedral [Fe^II₄L₄] capsule <bold>2</bold>. The two capsules have radically different cavity volumes and shapes, and are able to encapsulate guests of different size, shape, and charge.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36jz7vb9" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
