title: A double intramolecular cage contraction within a self-assembled metallo-supramolecular bowl.
abstract: When isolated in the high vacuum of an ESI-FTICR mass spectrometer, bowl-shaped metallo-supramolecular M(6)L(4) assemblies undergo a surprising and mechanistically interesting intramolecular double cage contraction to yield smaller M(3)L(2) cages.
