title: Building large supramolecular nanocapsules with europium cations.
abstract: A new tripodal ligand has been designed by connecting pyridine-based coordination units to a rigid triptycene moiety. Its reaction with europium(III) provides three-dimensional tetranuclear edifices, whose structural and photophysical characteristics as well as host-guest interactions are discussed in this contribution.
