3-Pyridineboronic acid --> boroxine --> pentadecanuclear boron cage --> 3D molecular network: a sequence based on two levels of self-complementary self-assembly.
A pentadecanuclear boroxine-cage has been generated through a single-component self-assembly process, and serves as a twofold concave-convex self-complementary tecton for the assembly of a complex 3D molecular network.
