title: Rhenium-based molecular rectangular boxes with large inner cavity and high shape selectivity towards benzene molecule.
abstract: The self-assembly of rhenium-based rectangular boxes with a large inner cavity can be achieved via a simple one-step synthetic route; these molecules selectively recognize planar aromatic molecules, benzene in particular.
