Abstract The creation of hosts capable accommodating different guest molecules may enable these to play useful roles in chemical purifications, among other applications. Metal–organic cages are excellent for various guests, but they generally incorporate rigid structural units that hinder dynamic adaptation specific guests. Here we report a conformationally adaptable pseudo-cubic cage can dynamically increase its cavity volume fit guests with differing sizes. This pseudo-cube incorporates...
Interwoven molecular structures underpin the functions of many biomolecules,1–3 yet synthesizing artificial topologically-complex in high yield remains challenging.4,5 Here we describe a streamlined, one-pot synthesis knotted cage frameworks through use subcomponent designed to bridge over faces predesigned framework. A ZnII4L3 open-faced framework was employed as basis for topologically chiral ‘perplexane’,6 and ZnII4L4 tetrahedron built into ‘trefoil tetrahedron’. Both interwoven...
The extraction of lithium from natural deposits is energy intensive because Li+ found together with physiochemically similar alkali (Na+, K+) and alkaline earth (Mg2+, Ca2+) metals. Methods for the direct specific salt mixtures are thus essential to ensure an adequate supply this metal batteries needed decarbonize world economy. Here we present preparation alkali-metal-templated coordination cages their application extraction. Within cage framework, protons amplify different binding...
Metal‐organic cages (MOCs) are a class of self‐assembled materials with promising applications in chemical purifications, sensing, and catalysis. Their potential is, however, hampered by challenges the targeted design MOCs desirable properties. MOC discovery is thus often reliant on trial‐and‐error approaches brute‐force manual screening, which time‐consuming, costly material‐intensive. Translating synthesis property screening to an automated workflow therefore attractive, both accelerate...

Abstract Porphyrin cage-compounds are used as biomimetic models and substrate-selective catalysts in supramolecular chemistry. In this work we present the resolution of planar-chiral porphyrin cages determination their absolute configuration by vibrational circular dichroism combination with density functional theory calculations. The chiral porphyrin-cages form complexes achiral viologen-guests upon binding one axial enantiomorphs guest is bound selectively, indicated...
A key feature of coordination cages is the dynamic nature their coordinative bonds, which facilitates synthesis complex polyhedral structures and post-assembly modification. However, this can limit cage stability. Increasing robustness important for real-world use cases. Here we introduce a double-bridging strategy to increase stability, where designed pairs bifunctional subcomponents combine generate rectangular tetratopic ligands within pseudo-cubic Zn8L6 cages. These withstand...

Within this work we review the metal coordination effect on photophysics of dipyrrinato complexes. Dipyrrinato complexes are promising candidates in search for alternative transition photosensitizers application photodynamic therapy (PDT). These can be activated by irradiation with light a specific wavelength, after which cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated. The allows use heavy atom effect, enhance triplet generation necessary ROS. Additionally, flexibility these ions,...
