Abstract

Abstract : The binding properties of electron-rich M4 L2 metallacages with different cavity sizes, constructed through coordination-driven self-assembly of extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF)-based ligands, are evaluated and show a high size selectivity for different guest molecules. Abstract : M4 L2 metalla-cages bearing large electron-rich ovoid cavities constructed through coordination-driven self-assembly from square planar palladium complexes and extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF)-based ligands are depicted. Their binding properties for polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or zinc tetraphenylporphyrin have been evaluated and compared with previously described smaller cage analogues, showing a high size selectivity.
