title: Dodecaamide cages: organic 12-arm building blocks for supramolecular chemistry.
abstract: A simple, one-step amidation reaction is used to produce a range of 12-arm organic building blocks for supramolecular chemistry via the derivatization of porous imine cages. As an example, microporous dendrimers are prepared.
