Ion transport to the interior of metal-organic pyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules.
Metal ions or ion pairs (silver nitrate shown) are transported to the interior of metal-organic pyrogallol[4]arene nanocapsules via aqueous "gates". This transport has been studied by X-ray crystallography and shows the affinity of the ions to reside deep in the polyaromatic regions of the assemblies.
