title: Sterically congested, hexameric tetrakispyridinyl-Pd(II)/Cd(II)-metallomacrocycles: self-assembly and structural characterization.
abstract: Hexagonal Pd(II)- or Cd(II)-tetrakispyridinyl-based macrocycles are quantitatively self-assembled from 4'-(3-pyridinyl)-4,4''-di(tert-butyl)-2,2' : 6',2''-terpyridine and structurally confirmed by NMR and TWIM-MS.
