A symmetry-controlled and face-driven approach for the assembly of cerium-based molecular polyhedra.
A well-defined Ce-based molecular tetrahedron and a cube-like architecture were achieved via self-assembly by incorporating NOO tridentate chelators into the rationally designed ligands with C(3) or C(2v) symmetries, respectively.
