Abstract

Abstract : A promising approach is described to enhance the luminescence of palladium(ii ) cages resulting in one of the highest fluorescence qunatum yields for metallosupramolecular complexes. Abstract : Exo -functionalized Pd2 L4 cage compounds with attached Ru(ii ) pyridine complexes were prepared via coordination-driven self-assembly. Unlike most of the previously reported palladium(ii ) cages, one of these metallocages exhibits an exceptionally high quantum yield of 66%. The presented approach is promising to obtain luminescent coordination complexes for various applications.
