title: Trigonal prismatic Cu(I) and Ag(I) pyrazolato nanocage hosts: encapsulation of S8 and hydrocarbon guests.
abstract: Two neutral hexanuclear trigonal prismatic cage molecules have been synthesized by coupling two planar triangular M3pz3-panels, M = Cu(I) and Ag(I), in eclipsed geometry. The ~230 Å(3) cage volume can be either vacant or occupied by neutral guests. The crystal structures of the M6-cyclohexane and Ag6-S8 host-guest species have been determined.
