Self-assembly of polyhedral indium-organic nanocages.
A synthetic strategy to construct discrete indium-organic polyhedra has been illustrated based on small three-membered windows from a 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (PDC) ligand with an angle of 120°. [Et2NH2]6[In6(PDC)12] (InOF-10) is a high-symmetry octahedron with eight three-membered windows, and [Et2NH2]18[In18(BPDC)6(PDC)30] (InOF-11) is a complex polyhedron derived from 3-edge-removed octahedra with an auxiliary biphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylate (BPDC) ligand. Moreover, the sorption behavior of the latter is also well investigated.
