title: Stacked platinum complexes of the magnus' salt type inside a coordination cage.
abstract: Neatly wrapped up: alternately stacked square-planar platinum(II) complexes inside a dinuclear coordination cage were prepared to give a discrete and soluble Pt(5) -array of the Magnus' salt type. Characterization of the complex in solution was complemented by an X-ray crystal structure of {[Pt(pyridine)(4)]⋅ [PtCl(4)](2) @Cage}; this structure showed the linear, pentanuclear array within the cages and their circular packing into a hollow tubular superstructure.
