Self-assembly of three-dimensional M3L2 cages via a new flexible organometallic clip.
The simple combination of tritopic pyridine donor linkers with a new flexible acceptor "clip" in a 2:3 stoichiometric ratio generates three-dimensional M3L2 cages which possess large cavities in essentially quantitative yields.
