Abstract

Abstract : The self‐assembly of 2, 5‐diformylpyrrole, tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine, and silver(I) yielded a series of new cascade complexes or plenates, that is, cryptates incorporating Ag n n + clusters. The tripyrrolic cage is represented by a wooden chest hiding the treasure, which in the case of plenates, contains a pile of shiny silver atoms. In contrast, for cascade complexes, two precious metals lie next to anions shown as colorful gems. Obviously, such treasure cannot remain unprotected… More information can be found in the Research Article by B. Szyszko and co‐workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203850 ).
