Use of di-1,4-substituted-1,2,3-triazole "click" ligands to self-assemble dipalladium(II) coordinatively saturated, quadruply stranded helicate cages.
Readily synthesised and functionalised di-1,4-substituted-1,2,3-triazole "click" ligands are shown to self-assemble into coordinatively saturated, quadruply stranded helicate molecular cages with Pd(II) ions.
