title: Highly fluorescent M2L4 molecular capsules with anthracene shells.
abstract: M(2)L(4) molecular capsules self-assembled from M(II) ions (where M = Zn, Ni, and Pd) and bent bidentate ligands constructed from anthracene fluorophores. The Ni(II) and Zn(II) capsules exhibited weak to strong blue emission unlike traditional Pd(II) cages and capsules.
