Two-component control of guest binding in a self-assembled cage molecule.
A self-assembled M(2)L(4) palladium-pyridyl cluster with a "paddle-wheel" structure shows binding affinity in competitive organic solvents for neutral organic guests that possess both the correct size and electrostatic complementarity.
