Bisphosphine based hetero-capsules for the encapsulation of transition metals.
Just mixing of solutions of tetracationic diphosphine ligands and tetraanionic calix[4]arene building blocks leads to the formation of supramolecular heterocapsules that coordinate a palladium metal within the cavity of the assembly, giving rise to a new class of potential supramolecular transition metal catalysts.
