title: A ring of rings and other multicomponent assemblies of cages.
abstract: Ring a ring of roses: Spectacular nanoscale molecular assemblies have been created by design of individual polymetallic components that are then linked together through simple reactions. These include an assembly where six octametallic rings surround a dodecametallic central ring.
